Used Thalmann Machines for Sale

Thalmann is a name commonly associated with sheet metal folding machines used in roofing and architectural sheet metal work. Shops list used units when they upgrade, add capacity or close a location. Folders vary in length, capacity, folding direction and control system, so confirm the specification of the exact machine rather than relying on general reputation.

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.

Questions about Thalmann

Is this site affiliated with Thalmann?

No. This is an independent, community-run marketplace. Thalmann machines are listed by members who own them, and buyers deal directly with those sellers. The site does not inspect, guarantee, ship or finance any equipment. For factory support, parts or official specifications, contact the manufacturer or an authorized dealer directly.

What capacity folder does a roofing trim shop need?

Choose a working length that covers your longest trim pieces and a rated capacity above the heaviest material you bend, keeping in mind that capacity is usually lower for harder metals. Think about volume, available floor space and power. Members on the community board can share what works for similar shops.

How do I check the history of a used Thalmann 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.
