A highway guardrail roll forming machine is an advanced production line designed to manufacture W-beam, Thrie-beam, and other highway safety barriers from metal coils (galvanized steel, stainless steel, or aluminum). This machine ensures high precision, durability, and efficiency in producing guardrails
Uncoiler – Supports and feeds the metal coil into the machine.
Leveling Unit – Flattens the coil to prevent deformities.
Roll Forming Stations – Progressive shaping of the guardrail profile (W-beam, Thrie-beam, etc.).
Punching Unit (Optional) – Adds bolt holes for guardrail connections.
Hydraulic Cutting System – Cuts guardrails to exact lengths (6m, 12m, or custom).
PLC Control Panel – Ensures precision in length, punching, and speed.
Run-out Table – Supports and stacks finished guardrails.

W-beam has a double-wave shape (used for standard highways).
Thrie-beam has a triple-wave shape (for higher impact resistance).
The machine can produce both in one machine.
Yes, the machine can be equipped with a punching unit to create pre-punched holes for easy installation.
Typically 2.0mm – 4.5mm, but heavy-duty versions can go up to 6mm.
Assuming 8-20 m/min, it can produce 500–1,500 tons/month (depending on shifts).
Yes, we offer on-site installation, testing, and operator training.
Yes, options like automatic coil loading, stacking systems, and robotic arms can be integrated for full automation.
