Profile Information
Scaffold planks are formed metal walking platforms with reinforced profiles and embossed surfaces, providing a stable, slip-resistant surface for scaffolding, stairs, walkways, and temporary access platforms.
Typically made from galvanized or mild steel, they are also used in workshops and industrial areas where slip resistance and easy cleaning are important. They are commonly manufactured with a dedicated scaffold plank roll forming machine.
Typical Applications
| Scaffolding Work Platforms | Industrial Workshop Walkways |
| Stair Treads and Platforms | Anti-Slip Access Walkways |
Profile Specification
| Profile | Scaffold plank |
| Common Material | Galvanized Steel / Cold-Rolled Steel (Q235, Q355, ASTM A653) |
| Yield Strength | 235-345Mpa |
| Thickness | 1.5 – 2.5 mm |
| Profile Features | Embossed anti-slip surface |
| Raised edges enable secure overlapping connections between adjacent planks. |
Production Line
The scaffold plank roll forming machine is an automated production line for continuously forming embossed metal scaffold planks with consistent dimensions and surface patterns. Its integrated leveling, embossing, roll forming, and flying hydraulic cutting processes support efficient, stable production for demanding scaffold plank manufacturing applications.

Prior to shipment, every Goalon roll forming machine undergoes strict trial testing. Below is the live footage of our roll forming production line under continuous operation.
Why Choose This Roll Forming Production Line
✅ Continuous Flying Cutting
The cutter follows the formed plank during cutting, eliminating forming stops and supporting higher continuous output.
✅ Consistent Embossed Surface
Dedicated embossing produces a uniform anti-slip pattern across the plank, improving repeatability between production batches.
✅ Rigid Gearbox-Driven Forming
Cast-iron stands and gearbox transmission provide stable forming under heavier material loads, helping maintain profile accuracy during long production runs.

Function Of Machines
Uncoiling & Leveling Machine
The integrated uncoiling and leveling unit continuously feeds steel coil into the production line while correcting coil deformation. This provides a flatter and more stable strip before embossing and forming, helping maintain consistent downstream processing.
♦ Embossing Machine
The embossing unit creates the specified surface pattern on the steel strip before roll forming. The embossing roller design is matched to the required plank pattern, providing consistent surface definition while maintaining continuous production.
Guiding Device
The guiding system accurately positions the strip before it enters the forming section. Proper lateral alignment helps reduce material deviation during continuous forming and supports consistent plank geometry throughout long production runs.
♦ Roll Forming Machine
The main forming machine progressively shapes the embossed strip through multiple forming stations. A cast-iron stand provides a rigid foundation, while the gearbox driving system delivers stable power transmission for consistent forming performance.
♦ Flying Hydraulic Cutting Unit
The flying hydraulic cutter moves synchronously with the formed profile during cutting, so the roll forming process does not need to stop. By matching the forming speed, it maintains relative stillness between the cutter and profile for accurate cutting.
Cut-Out Table
The cut-out table receives the finished scaffold planks after cutting and provides a controlled discharge area. Its configuration can be adapted to the required plank length, production speed, and handling method.
