Shelf Rack Roll Forming Machine | PUTAI, Tianjin, China

PUTAI Shelf Beam Rack Roll Forming Machine – Upright and Beam Production for Storage Racking

The PUTAI shelf rack roll forming machine is a heavy-duty automatic line for producing the steel components of storage racking and shelving systems, including upright columns and beams. Steel strip is shaped progressively through 18 precision roller stations, with integrated punching and a servo tracking cutter that cuts each profile to length without stopping the line. A 30 kW main motor, gearbox drive and 70 mm shafts give the rigidity and power needed for accurate rack profiles, making it a core machine for racking manufacturers supplying warehouses, logistics centres, retail and industrial facilities.

Why Roll Forming for Racking Components?

• Continuous production from coil, far faster than press-brake fabrication
• Every upright and beam is formed to the same profile, so racks assemble accurately
• Punching and cutting in the same line reduce handling and labour
• Consistent quality supports safe, reliable load-bearing structures

Key Features

• Produces rack uprights (columns) and beams, with other components available on dedicated tooling
• Powerful 30 kW main motor for heavy forming loads
• Rigid 70 mm 40Cr steel shafts to keep profiles accurate
• 18 forming stations with GCr15 bearing steel rollers
• Integrated punching and notching for rack connection holes
• Servo tracking cutting system cuts to length on the move
• Cr12 cutting blades for long blade life
• PLC control with touch screen for easy operation and monitoring
• Gearbox drive for high torque, accuracy and low maintenance
• Graduated adjusting nuts for precise, repeatable roller setup

How the Production Line Works

• Decoiling: Steel coil is loaded and fed into the line
• Punching: Connection holes and notches are punched in line
• Roll forming: 18 stations shape the strip into the upright or beam profile
• Servo cutting: Each profile is cut to the programmed length while the line keeps running
• Output: Finished components are collected for inspection and packing

Frequently Asked Questions

• Where is this machine made? This machine is listed by PUTAI as made in Tianjin, China, and is exported worldwide.
• Which rack components can it make? Uprights and beams, built to your profile drawings. Braces and panels need their own tooling, so tell PUTAI which components you need.
• Does it punch the connection holes? Yes. Punching and notching are integrated into the line.
• Why is the motor so powerful? Rack profiles need heavier steel and deeper forming, and the 30 kW motor with gearbox drive keeps the line running smoothly under load.
• How fast does it run? Up to 20 m/min, depending on profile and punching pattern.
• What should I send for a quotation? Your upright and beam drawings with hole patterns, material thickness, target output, and local voltage and frequency.
