About this product
The StanGroup Standing S-cleat Rail Forming Machine makes standing S cleat: a flat S lock with a 1″ tall standing seam section added for strength. Duct shops use it on the wider sides of rectangular duct where a plain flat S cleat is not stiff enough. It goes on the same way, with standing S on the top and bottom of the transverse joint and drive cleat on the two shorter sides.
The profile fills the gap between slip-and-drive joints and flanged connections. Shops often switch from flat S to standing S once the wide side of the duct passes roughly 20″ to 24″, and use it up to about 30″ before moving to TDC-type flanges. Because the profile needs more roll stations than a flat S cleat, it is made on its own dedicated machine, so a shop with this former can roll standing S from strip cut in house rather than buying it in.
StanGroup builds it with needle bearings, case-hardened and ground roll shafts, a heavy chassis plate and an arc-welded steel stand. The forming rollers are 15 sets of GCr15 steel hardened to HRC 58 to 60. Capacity is 22 to 26 gauge low-carbon steel at about 24 ft/min, driven by a 5 HP, 220 to 240 V, 60 Hz three-phase motor. At 125″ long, 28″ wide and 46″ high and about 2,400 lb, it needs a permanent spot in the shop.
Pair it with the S-cleat C-drive locking pin Pittsburgh and Seam Lock Forming Machine for flat S and drive cleat, and with the TDFC Lock & Cleats Former when you move to flanged joints. Steel Sheet and Steel Coil supply the strip.

Questions
When do shops use standing S instead of flat S?
Usually on the wider sides of rectangular duct, once the transverse dimension passes about 20 to 24 inches.
Does it also make drive cleat?
It is built for the standing S profile. Drive cleat for the short sides comes from a cleat machine such as the S-cleat C-drive locking pin Pittsburgh and Seam Lock Forming Machine.
