A new manual from the Metal Construction Association (MCA) provides general guidelines for the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of portable roll-forming equipment in the manufacture of building wall and roof panels. The 31-page “Portable Roll former Best Practices Operation Manual” is available as a pdf document at no charge on the MCA website.
The purpose of the manual is to familiarize company personnel and installers with general knowledge, basic operation, safety and maintenance procedures as well as troubleshooting instructions for standard portable roll-forming processes. Topics discussed include safety; operation; maintenance; and job site storage. Several diagrams further explain each section.
A complete list and description of MCA’s highly respected technical materials, including this manual, are available at www.metalconstruction.org/pubs/
. Most documents are downloadable free from the site.
