With increased fuel efficiency requirements and the demand of distributions centers these components are in larger demand and are manufactured of light gauge, high strength materials to save weight. In addition to the structural components, logistics features such as e-tracks and shelving are also roll formed.

The transportation industry also includes busses and trains. School buses require similar roll formed components and typically require programmable features including in-line notching, post-cutting to length for flexibility of finished part lengths, hole patterns, and production quantities in order to meet manufacturing needs. Formtek designs metal forming and fabricating systems to meet the ever changing requirements of the bus and train industry.

Formtek can accommodate specialized roll forming needs including systems for heavy gauge steel frames. These roll formed products satisfy the needs for heavy truck and railcar industries. Roll forming machines and tooling are integrated with heavy gauge frame fabrication systems with coil or strip feeding to fit the unique needs of the heavy transportation industry. Formtek’s experienced engineers have the knowledge and understanding to design and build a roll forming system all transportation needs from heavy gauge frames for semi-trucks and mass transit vehicles to the safety equipment including guard rails, sign posts and even barrier system components.
