The Highway Guardrail Roll Forming Machine is expertly engineered for crafting guardrails used along roadways. This advanced system seamlessly handles the entire production process—uncoiling, feeding, punching, roll forming, logo embossing, and precise cutting to length. Equipped with a sophisticated PLC control system and an AV inverter for smooth speed regulation, the machine operates with full automation, ensuring efficiency and precision. It is an indispensable tool for the steel structure and road transportation industries, capable of producing both two-wave and three-wave guardrail profiles using a dual-cassette design.Tailored to meet specific customer requirements, the machine offers customizable configurations to suit unique technical needs.Our Crash Barrier Forming Equipment is designed to manufacture W-beam guardrails, available in two-wave and three-wave profiles, ideal for installation on highways or expressways. Powered by a robust gearbox drive—offering greater stability than traditional chain-driven systems—the equipment includes a manual decoiler, material feeding unit, raw material leveling system, punching mechanism, main forming unit, and automatic cutting system. The final guardrail is cut to the desired length using an encoder for precise measurement, with the machine automatically pausing to execute cuts and resuming operation seamlessly. Additional beams may be required to secure the guardrail, and punching holes are incorporated as needed, typically for guardrails with a standard thickness of 3-4mm.With extensive experience in guardrail roll forming technology, our machines are built to comply with various international standards, including:
- AASHTO M180 (American Standard)
- RAL RG620 (German Standard)
- BS EN-1317 (European Standard)
- AS/NZS 3845:1999 (Australian Standard)
