By Cayden Wemple. 

There is an ocean of choices when picking portable roof panel machinery. Luckily, New Tech Machinery has you covered with a guide to picking the perfect machine for you! 

When considering purchasing a portable roof panel machine, understanding its specifications and details is crucial for making the right decision. Not only does this knowledge help you choose the best machine for your current business needs, but it can also ensure that your business can grow in the future. 

At New Tech Machinery (NTM), questions about compatible materials, production capabilities, and panel width are common. To assist in this decision-making process, this article will explore and compare the specifications and details of NTM's portable roof panel machines: the SSR MultiPro Jr., SSH MultiPro, and SSQ II MultiPro.

Portable rollforming machines for metal roofing businesses offer the benefit of easy transportation to job sites. Knowing the machine's dimensions, weight, and towing requirements is crucial for selecting the right machine and transporting it with reel racks and coils. This information is also essential for determining vehicle towing limits and ensuring that the machine can support the appropriate coil size. The specifications for NTM trailers include three portable roof panel machine specifications.

How Fast Can the SSR, SSH, or SSQ II Make Panels? 

Portable rollforming machines run longer panels quickly, which is ideal for roofing companies with large commercial projects or "chop and drop" businesses. Speeds vary based on motor type and number of drive rollers. 

Maximum Coil and Finished Panel Widths for the SSR, SSH, or SSQ II 

When purchasing materials from a coil supplier, knowing coil weight, width, and finished panel width is essential. Most panels use 4-6 inches of material to create a profile, meaning a 20-inch coil only makes a 16-inch panel. Knowing your limitations is important for these engineered systems. 

The SSR and SSH machines are suitable for startups or those working on residential/light commercial projects. The SSQ II offers a wider range of profile styles for both markets, allowing for expansion of services in the future. Choosing the best portable roof panel machine is crucial for your business.
