Used Jorns Machines for Sale

Jorns is a name commonly associated with sheet metal folding machines used by roofing and architectural sheet metal shops for trim, flashing and other folded parts. Used folders under this name typically come from shops upgrading their equipment. Folders can differ widely in length, capacity, folding direction and control system, so confirm the specification of the exact machine you are considering.

What to verify on any used folder or brake

  • Serial plate: photograph it and confirm working length and rated capacity.
  • Test fold: fold a full-length piece and check the angle at both ends and the middle.
  • Drives and hydraulics: look for leaks, noise and uneven movement on powered units.
  • Controls and back gauge: test repeatability and ask about software and controller support.
  • Tooling and manuals: list the tools included and ask for documentation and service records.
  • Parts availability: check support for that model in your region.

No. This is an independent, community-run marketplace. Jorns machines are listed by members who own them, and buyers deal directly with those sellers.

What should I ask about the controller on a used Jorns folder?

Ask which controller is fitted, whether it runs without errors, whether stored programs and software come with it, and who services it in your region. Test the back gauge for repeatable positioning. Older controllers can be costly to replace, so ask the manufacturer or a dealer about support before buying.

How do I check the history of a used Jorns machine?

Ask the seller for a clear photo of the serial plate, then contact the manufacturer or an authorized dealer with that number. They may be able to confirm the model, configuration and sometimes the original build details. Also ask the seller for receipts, service records and how long they have owned the machine.
