#Storage Rack Roll Forming Machine# In the logistics, warehousing, and material handling industries, racking systems play a vital role in maximizing space and operational efficiency. A critical component of these systems is the racking post, also known as the upright rack. Some manufacturers have better solutions of racking system, for example Drive-In Rack Systems. To meet the growing demand for high-precision, high-strength, and flexible racking components, our company has developed a fully automatic rack post roll forming machine—a high-performance, width-adjustable roll forming line designed specifically for manufacturing a variety of racking posts from both black steel and galvanized steel with a thickness range of 1.5–2.0mm.

Today let’s introduce our advanced rack post roll forming machine, explaining its design, working process, key advantages, and technical specifications. Whether you’re manufacturing pallet racking, storage shelving, step beams, or upright racks, our roll forming solution delivers speed, consistency, and versatility.

🌟 Key Features of the Racking Post Roll Forming Machine

Our rack upright roll forming machine is engineered to handle various types of rack profiles with quick width adjustment capabilities, making it an ideal solution for manufacturers that produce multiple racking post sizes. The system ensures precise forming, clean punching, and accurate cutting, enabling the production of both standard and customized racking components.

✅ Materials Supported:

• Black Steel
• Galvanized Steel (GI)
• Thickness: 1.5mm – 2.0mm

🧰 Complete Rack Post Roll Forming Machine Configuration

The storage rack upright roll forming machine is composed of the following key components:

1. 2-in-1 Decoiler & Leveler

This compact unit integrates decoiling and leveling functions into one station. It efficiently unwinds and flattens the steel coil, preparing it for the downstream punching and forming process.

• Coil Inner Diameter: 508mm
• Coil Width: Up to 500mm
• Max Coil Weight: 5 Tons
• Leveling rolls: Hardened GCr15, precision-ground

2. Servo Feeder

The servo feeder ensures precise feeding of the steel sheet into the punching machine and later into the forming line. It is programmable and synchronized with the press and roll former for high accuracy.

• Feeding Accuracy: ±0.2mm
• Feed Length: Adjustable via HMI
• Control: PLC with touchscreen

3. Oil Pressing Machine (Hydraulic or Mechanical Punching)

Punching operations such as slots, holes, and round or oblong perforations are completed here before the forming stage. The die set can be customized based on racking post design.

• Hydraulic Power: 11–15 kW
• Pressing Force: Up to 120 Tons
• Punching Speed: Synchronized with feeder
• Cooling System: Oil cooler included

4. Width Adjustable Roll Forming System

This is the core of the entire line. Our storage rack roll forming machine uses a servo-assisted screw adjustment system for automatically adjusting the roller positions to accommodate various racking post sizes. No need to change rollers, reducing downtime and boosting productivity (Seeing Width Adjustable Roll Forming Machine).

• Number of Stations: 18–24 stations
• Drive System: Gearbox & chain drive or fully gearbox
• Shaft Diameter: 70mm
• Roller Material: Cr12MoV, heat-treated, polished & chromed
• Forming Speed: 10–20 m/min (excluding punching and cutting)
• Width Range: 50mm – 100mm (adjustable via HMI)
• Profile Types: Slotted uprights, omega-type posts, boxed beams, step beams

5. Hydraulic Cutoff System

The hydraulic cutting unit is servo-positioned and works in synchronization with the roll forming process. It cuts the racking posts to precise lengths without deforming the ends.

• Cutting Method: Flying cutoff (optional stop-and-cut)
• Blade Material: Cr12MoV, heat treated
• Cutting Accuracy: ±1mm
• Length Control: PLC programmable

📊 Technical Specifications Overview

🏗️ Application Areas

This pallet rack roll forming machine is ideal for producing structural members used in:

• Warehouse Racking Systems
• Logistics Storage Shelves
• Step Beam Shelving
• Drive-in Racks
• Cantilever and Heavy-Duty Rack Systems
• Supermarket Storage Solutions

It supports the entire racking system industry, from light-duty shelving to high-load pallet racks.

🔄 Width Adjustment Advantage

One of the major innovations of our upright rack roll forming machine is the automated width adjustment system. This eliminates the need for manual roll changes or long downtime during profile switches. Users can adjust the width directly from the HMI panel, improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

This flexibility makes it possible to:

• Produce different racking post sizes on the same line
• Switch between different customer specifications quickly
• Offer a wider product range without needing multiple forming machines

⚙️ Intelligent Control & Safety

The storage rack roll forming machine is equipped with a PLC system that controls the feeding length, punching location, forming speed, and cutting length. It includes features such as:

• Error detection & real-time alarms
• Safety guarding & emergency stops
• Maintenance reminders
• User-friendly interface (multiple languages available)
