# Structural Steel Rolling and Bending Ramco Fabricators has universal tooling to roll all structural steel, from flat bar and angle up through heavy beams and channel, in any orientation you need: easy way or hard way, flange in or flange out, leg in or leg out. We roll curved roof beams, tank stiffener rings, circular handrail, cambered floor beams, spiral stair stringers, and plenty more. If it is a structural shape and it needs a curve, send it our way! ## Capabilities ### Beam Rolling ![Beam rolled easy-way](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/beam-easy-way.webp) Beam, rolled easy-way ![Beam rolled hard-way](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/beam-hard-way.webp) Beam, rolled hard-way ### Channel Rolling ![Channel rolled flange-in](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/channel-flange-in.webp) Channel, rolled flange-in ![Channel rolled flange-out](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/channel-flange-out.webp) Channel, rolled flange-out ![Channel rolled hard-way](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/channel-hard-way.webp) Channel, rolled hard-way ### Angle Rolling ![Angle rolled leg-out](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/angle-leg-out.webp) Angle, rolled leg-out ![Angle rolled leg-in](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/angle-leg-in.webp) Angle, rolled leg-in ![Angle rolled heel-in](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/angle-heel-in.webp) Angle, rolled heel-in ![Angle rolled heel-out](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/angle-heel-out.webp) Angle, rolled heel-out ![Angle rolled heel-up](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/angle-heel-up.webp) Angle, rolled heel-up ### Bar Rolling ![Flat bar rolled hard-way](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/flat-bar-hard-way.webp) Flat bar, rolled hard-way ![Flat bar rolled easy-way](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/flat-bar-easy-way.webp) Flat bar, rolled easy-way ![Square bar rolled to specs](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/square-bar.webp) Square bar, rolled to specs ![Round bar rolled to specs](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/round-bar.webp) Round bar, rolled to specs ### Tee Rolling ![Tee rolled stem-in](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/tee-stem-in.webp) Tee, rolled stem-in ![Tee rolled stem-out](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/tee-stem-out.webp) Tee, rolled stem-out ![Tee rolled stem-up](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/tee-stem-up.webp) Tee, rolled stem-up We also roll pipe and square or rectangular tube! ## Shapes We Roll - Wide flange and I-beams (W, S, H), the easy way (about the weak axis) and the hard way (about the strong axis) - Channel, flanges in or flanges out, hard way and easy way - Angle, leg in, leg out, and heel in, out, or up - Flat bar, the easy way and the hard way - Square bar and round bar - Tees, stem in, stem out, or stem up - Round pipe and square or rectangular tube - Plate, on our [plate rolls](https://ramcofabricators.com/plate-rolling) We roll full circles, segments, and spirals in most of these shapes, and we camber floor and roof beams. Carbon and stainless steel are our specialty, and we will gladly quote other materials on request. ![Rolled flat bar](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/img_0534-crop-u86887.jpg) ![Rolled I beam](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/img_0533-crop-u86885.jpg) [![Angle rings rolled leg-out, stacked on the shop floor](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/rolled-angle-rings.webp)](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/rolled-angle-rings-full.webp) ## Structural Rolling Capacity - **Wide flange beam, easy way:** Up to W24 - **Wide flange beam, hard way:** Up to W8 - **S beam:** Up to S24 - **Channel, easy way:** Up to C15 - **Channel, hard way:** Up to C8 - **Angle:** Up to 8 x 8 x 1/2 in - **Square and rectangular tube:** Up to 8 x 8 x 1/2 in - **Pipe:** Up to 2 in O.D. - **Tees:** Various sizes - **Flat bar, square bar, round bar:** Various sizes The minimum radius depends on the section, the size, and the direction it is rolled, so we quote it job by job. Send us the shape, size, and radius and we can tell you quickly whether it will roll. Larger pipe and cylinders are rolled from plate on our [plate rolls](https://ramcofabricators.com/plate-rolling). ## Plate Rolling Our 3-roll plate rolls take steel up to 1-1/4 inch thick and 10 feet wide, down to a 24 inch inside diameter. The rolls are the cornerstone of the company and the starting point for most of what we build, including cylinders, cones, and large pipe. See the [plate rolling page](https://ramcofabricators.com/plate-rolling) for the full capacity table. ![Plate rolling](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/rolling-plate.jpg) ![Rolled plate cylinder](https://ramcofabricators.com/images/rolling-plate-cylinder.jpg) ## Who Sends Us Rolling Work We roll for steel fabricators and erectors who do not own rolls, tank and vessel shops that need stiffener rings and wear plates, millwrights and conveyor builders, architectural metal shops, and general contractors with a curved feature on the drawings. We are happy to roll your material or to quote it furnished, and we ship nationwide or hold your parts for pickup here in Colfax. If the rolled piece needs to become a finished weldment, our [fabrication shop](https://ramcofabricators.com/fabrication) is under the same roof. ## What to Send for a Quote - Section size and material grade - Radius, diameter, or a sketch of the arc - Orientation: which way the flange or leg faces the center - Quantity and overall length - Whether you are supplying material or want us to buy it ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the largest beam you can roll? We roll wide flange beams up to a W24 the easy way and a W8 the hard way, and S beams up to S24. Channel goes to C15 the easy way and C8 the hard way, and angle and tube go up to 8 x 8 x 1/2 inch. ### What is the tightest radius you can roll? It depends on the shape, the size, and the direction. Flat bar and small angle can go very tight, while large beams rolled the hard way need a more generous radius. Send us the section and the radius and we can tell you quickly whether it will roll. ### Will there be distortion? There is always a little. Rolling stretches the outside of the section and compresses the inside, so flanges and legs can wave or tilt. We keep it to a minimum with careful setup, and we will tell you up front what to expect for your section and radius. ### Can you roll a full circle? Yes! We roll rings, full circles, and multi-segment circles welded into one piece, with the splices wherever you want them. ### Do you roll stainless structural shapes? Yes! Carbon and stainless steel are our specialty, and we will gladly quote other materials when the job calls for them. We will gladly prepare a customized quote for you.
