A better way to produce
top rails from high strength steel
Through a, single-line roll-forming process developed specifically for high strength steel, SSAB Shape has improved upon the traditional press brake production method. Roll formed top rails from SSAB Shape are delivered ready-made and on a serial production scale with greater surface quality and narrow cross section tolerances – including all benefits of Strenx® 700 MC.
Roll-formed top rails give you:
- Ready-made components on a serial production scale
