Plate Rolling
Fort Lauderdale

Our pyramid plate rolling machine handles aluminum, stainless, and steel plate — rolling flat sheet into cylinders, cones, curved hull sections, and architectural forms. Done in-house in Fort Lauderdale. No outsourcing, no delays.

What We Roll

Plate rolling — also called pyramid rolling or plate bending — uses three rolls in a pyramid configuration to progressively curve flat plate into a radius. It's how curved hull sections, cylindrical column casings, tank shells, and stacks are made. Our machine handles the full range of marine metals and plate thicknesses common in South Florida boat work.

  • Pyramid rolling machine on-site — dedicated plate rolling capacity in our Fort Lauderdale shop — no shipping material out
  • Aluminum, stainless, and steel — 5052, 5083, 6061 aluminum; 304/316L stainless; A36 structural steel plate
  • Cylinders and cones — full closed cylinders, open half-shell curves, and conical sections for columns, stacks, and architectural features
  • Curved hull sections — shell plating and curved panels for hull repairs, new construction, and structural reinforcement patches
  • Radius rolling to spec — roll to a specific radius from drawing or from a template — consistent throughout the plate length
  • On-site capacity — no outsourcing — the machine is in Fort Lauderdale. Jobs that would take a week to outsource get done in days

Why DolFab for Plate Rolling

On-Site — Fast Turnaround
Most shops in South Florida outsource plate rolling out of state. Ours is on-site in Fort Lauderdale — your parts stay local.
Roll-to-Weld in One Shop
Rolled plates go straight to our welding table. Curved hull sections are welded in by our ABS-certified welders without leaving the building.
ABS-Certified Shop
Rolled hull plating for ABS-certified structural repairs — we handle the full workflow from material prep through certified welding.
45+ Years Hull Work Experience
We've been rolling hull sections, tank shells, and curved marine structures since 1978. We know what radius is needed and how the material behaves.
