Guardrail manufacturing for road safety

IMCAR provides bending technology for steel guardrail manufacturing, supporting producers of road safety systems with equipment designed to form guardrail profiles accurately and efficiently.

The bending process uses hydraulically driven shaped rolls designed around the guardrail profile. A separate control desk gives the operator direct control over roll movement and rotation throughout the forming process.

W-Beam and Three-Beam guardrail, rolled to radius

IMCAR equipment can be configured for W-beam and three-beam guardrail profiles, providing manufacturers with a flexible solution for producing curved sections for road safety applications.

For W-beam sections curved to either a convex or concave radius, the machine uses containment rings that can be mounted and removed in minutes. This makes it possible to switch between profiles without a long changeover.

Shaped rolls are manufactured for the specific guardrail profile. Send us the section drawing and the radius range you need to produce, and we will determine the appropriate tooling for the application.

Built around your guardrail profile

Different road safety projects and markets require different guardrail profiles and bending specifications. IMCAR configures the bending equipment and tooling around the profile to be processed, combining hydraulic operation with dedicated shaped rolls.

This approach allows guardrail manufacturers to process different metal profiles while maintaining an efficient and straightforward production setup.
