Roll forming systems for uprights for pallet racking and mezzanine floors – Gasparini S.p.A.

We design roll forming lines for uprights used in pallet racking and industrial mezzanine floors, where surface quality, tight tolerances, and repeatability are essential for proper assembly and secure interlocking of components.

Our roll forming solutions combine production speed, quick setup flexibility, and integration with Gasparini’s in-house developed software - features that maximize the overall efficiency of your roll forming line.

Strengths of Gasparini roll forming lines

• Quality and tolerances: Regardless of material thickness or production speed, surface quality and tight tolerances are guaranteed, ensuring uprights that fit and interlock perfectly.
• Spring-back control: Our cold roll forming process combined with cutting reduces the head-to-tail effect, delivering straighter and more stable profiles.
• Ultra-fast setup:
  • TWIN: section change in less than 5 minutes
  • PRO: setup in less than 1 hour
  • Interchangeable cassettes: retooling in less than 1 hour
• Gasparini software: dedicated interfaces for simple and effective management; ERP integration and full data import/export compatibility supporting production and reporting.
