On-Site Roll Former Rental
On-Site Roll Former Rental for Standing-Seam Roofing
Q: I'm a homeowner, can I rent a roll former?
A: Unfortunately, no. Our rentals and coil return program are contractor exclusive programs. We would love to deliver pre-formed panels to homeowners for projects, though!
Q: What is the lead time for a rental?
Q: I'm a contractor, can I just rent a roll former from you without purchasing my metal through you?
A: Unfortunately we only offer rentals with complete metal roof packages. We’d love to give you an estimate for the whole project!
Q: How long do I get to keep the rental?
A: It’s really up to you. Most of our customers are done with the rental in 3 business days. If you feel you’ll need more time than that please communicate that with us at the time of rental to ensure we book your rental for long enough.
Q: What Types of panels can be formed on-site?
A: We roll the following panels with our portable roll formers: MP150, MP675, MP210 & Trapezoid panel machine. MPBatten is offered as an on-site rental option for some projects, ask us for details.
Q: I have a large commercial job and the panels are long. Can I roll them off at the eave?
A: Yes! Our machines are set up to be able to be lifted to roof height for ease of installation. Please contact us for lift and insurance requirements.
why roll on-site?
On-site roll forming benefits both the roofer and the customer. It allows for a more efficient installation process, with faster turnaround times and less waste. The metal panels are formed on-site, which eliminates the need to install pre-formed panels that may not fit or match up correctly. By rolling on site contractors are able to roll longer, continuous panels, equalling fewer laps and fewer leak points. Contractors who roll form on-site love the ability to make real-time tweaks to their cut lists. Need a panel 3 inches longer? Push a button – no re-ordering, no jobsite delays.
Rolling on site reduces the amount of labor needed to complete the project, which can save time and money. The roofer can also customize the roll forming to match existing structures on the job site, making sure the panels look great when finished. Finally, there is less risk of damage during shipping since the panels are formed right at the job site instead of being transported in bulky crates or boxes. Coil is transported to the jobsite on the machine, in coil form, cutting the dent and scratch risk to almost nil.
All in all, on-site roll forming can be a great way to save time and money while ensuring a successful roofing project.

Chop & Drop Service
As great as Roll Former Rentals are, sometimes jobsites just aren’t set up for a roll former trailer to be left on-site for the duration of a project. Indiana Metal’s Chop & Drop Service allows contractors to still get their panels roll formed on site without the rental of a roll former. Often times our Chop & Drop Service can be completed more quickly than our roll former rentals. In order to get scheduled for a chop and drop, the following will be needed:
-
- Confirmed order, including an accurate cut list. For assistance with a cutlist, Roofing Passport by Sherwin-Williams is a great tool. Contractors can sign up here.
- On-site area for panels to be stored once run off
- On-site crew. We provide the roll forming operator but contractors must provide at least one, in many cases two, workers to handle the panels once ready.
Please note that our Chop & Drop Service is weather and machine permitting. While we do our best to accommodate all schedules, inclement weather or Roll Former Rentals that run over allotted time may interfere with previously scheduled Chop & Drops and the service will need to be rescheduled.
