55-FOOT PANELS
Formed at the jobsite
NO LENGTH LIMIT
Long panels without specialized panel delivery
FLEXIBLE STAGING
Position the trailer or machine where the crew needs it
FIELD ADJUSTMENTS
Roll exact lengths as measurements and scope change
LONG PANELS WITHOUT TRANSPORT HEADACHES
Bring the coil—not a truckload of finished 55-foot panels.
Conventionally delivered 55-foot panels call for a transport truck, coordinated delivery, forklift access and a suitable road or parking-lot drop zone. The crew then has to carry those finished panels to the work area, while staging remains limited by where the forklift can reach.
With on-site metal panel roll forming, the trailer backs into the jobsite and the crew forms panels where the work is happening. Long-panel transportation limits are removed from the equation, and staging can be planned around installation—not delivery access.
A FASTER PATH FROM COIL TO ROOF
Position the trailer. Roll the panel. Prep it. Send it to the roof.
The roll former can support multiple staging areas across a large site. On this project, the machine was lifted to the eaves and the panel was rolled directly onto the roof. A panel could move from being formed to installation in about a minute.
01
Position
Back the trailer into a practical staging area or lift the roll former to the eaves.
02
Roll
Form the standing-seam panel on site at the length the roof requires.
03
Prep
One crew member can cut, notch and fold a staged panel before sending it up.
04
Install
Move the finished panel directly into position with fewer intermediate handling steps.

FEWER MOVES BETWEEN MACHINE AND ROOF
Faster staging. Less handling risk. Exact-length flexibility.
Each time a finished panel is loaded, unloaded, lifted by forklift, carried across a site or moved into a new staging area, there is another opportunity for a dent, scratch or kink. Forming panels where they are needed reduces those transportation and staging steps.
Multiple staging areas can shorten the distance between production and installation. Once staged, one person can prepare the panel and hand it up, helping the rest of the crew stay focused on installing the roof.
CONTINUOUS LONG METAL ROOF PANELS
Longer panels can eliminate an intermediate seam.
When transportation limits force a long roof run to be split into shorter panels, the design needs another seam partway down the slope. Rolling one continuous 55-foot standing-seam panel on site can remove that transport-driven joint.
Fewer seams mean fewer details for the installer to manage and fewer potential points for wind-driven rain to challenge over time, while also creating a cleaner finished roof.
LAST-MINUTE JOBSITE FLEXIBILITY
Field measurements and scope changes do not have to stop the job.
If a field measurement changes by half an inch, the crew can adjust before the next panel is formed. If the scope grows, additional panels can be rolled from coil. If the scope is reduced, the crew can form fewer panels instead of receiving material it no longer needs.
Measure what you need. Roll what you need. Install what you made—without waiting weeks for a replacement custom-panel order.

00:00–00:03 · AJ
Well, this specific project here, we're taking off the metal.
00:03–00:12 · AJ
It was condensating pretty bad, so we're replacing all the insulation and then putting two-inch foam board on top. Putting some insulation down, tore the old sheets off the roof.
00:12–00:21 · AJ
We're rolling the panels directly on site. They're about 55-foot long standing-seam panels. What we have here is the roller, of course, but we—
00:21–00:30 · AJ
—just boom it up to where we need it, then we can roll it straight onto the roof, and then as soon as it's on the roof we can bring it where we need it, to the exact length and everything.
00:30–00:32 · Sheldon
Measure it right on site and just roll it out, right?
00:32–00:37 · Sheldon
You're saving waste, and there's less seams in the roof, which means less leaks.
00:38–00:43 · Sheldon
Some customers, they find it unique, rolling out sheets on the job site, and for us it's definitely a lot easier.
00:43–00:48 · Sheldon
Especially on a tall building like this, we lift it up, we roll it out—away we go.
00:49–00:52 · Country Towne team voice-over
Country Towne, we specialize in metal roofing.

It's an amazing system. Everybody is just communicating, and the detail that goes into it.
01:03–01:05 · Frank
We do everything top-notch. We don't cut any corners.
01:06–01:12 · AJ
One of the bigger roofs I've ever done, and I just enjoy my job. It's good work. You're always on your feet, running around.
01:13–01:15 · Sheldon
Something new every day. Always exciting projects.
01:15–01:20 · Daniel
It's a good feeling seeing the finished product of what you did with your hands.
