Pallet Rack Beam Rolling Forming Equipment – Custom Roll Forming Machine Manufacturer

Step Beam & Box Beam Cold Roll Forming Machines for Warehouse Shelving

This roll forming line produces high‑strength pallet rack beams (step beams, box beams, and Ω/C‑beams) for industrial storage systems. The machine integrates servo punching for end connector holes, notching for load locking tabs, and flying cut‑off. Material thickness 0.5‑2.5mm, coil width up to 400mm, production speed 12‑18 m/min. Quick changeover between different beam depths (80‑120mm) in under 30 minutes. Precision ±0.5mm ensures perfect fit with rack uprights. Ideal for storage equipment manufacturers seeking consistent, high‑output beam production.

Description

Pallet Rack Beam Roll Machining Machinery

– Reliable, High‑Strength Beams for Warehouse Racking

The pallet rack beam roll forming machine is a specialized production line designed to manufacture steel beams used in pallet racking systems, selective racks, and warehouse shelving. Beams are critical structural components that support pallet loads; they must be strong, dimensionally accurate, and have precisely punched end connectors for secure attachment to uprights.

Why roll forming for rack beams?

Traditional beam fabrication involves press braking channel sections and then drilling connector holes – two separate operations with high labor and inconsistent hole alignment. Roll forming integrates beam shaping and end‑connector punching in one continuous process, ensuring every beam is identical and all connectors align perfectly with rack uprights.

Production process:

Uncoiling – Motorized uncoiler (5‑10 ton capacity) accepts steel coils up to 400mm wide.
Straightening – Leveling rolls remove coil set for flat material.
Servo punching – Hydraulic punches create end connector slots, bolt holes, and load locking tabs. Programmable patterns for different beam types.
Roll forming – 14‑18 passes progressively shape the flat strip into step beams, box beams, or C‑beams. Rollers made of Cr12MoV, vacuum heat‑treated to HRC58‑62.
Notching (optional) – Creates chamfers or notches for beam end preparation.
Cut‑off – Flying shear cuts the beam to exact length (±0.5mm).
Stacking – Optional automatic stacker with counting.

Key features:

High strength – Cold roll forming work‑hardens the material, increasing beam load capacity.
Precision punching – End connector holes positioned within ±0.3mm, ensuring perfect fit with uprights.
Flexible tooling – Quick changeover between beam depths (80‑120mm) and profiles (step, box, C, Ω) in under 30 minutes.
Integrated operations – Punching, notching, and cut‑off in one line eliminates secondary handling.
Surface protection – Urethane‑coated rollers available for pre‑finished steel.
