New & Used Seamers for Sale

Power seamers close mechanically seamed standing seam panels after they are clipped down, folding the seam to a 90-degree single lock or a 180-degree double lock in one or two passes. The seamers listed here come from ESE Machines, WUKO and other makers, in corded, cordless and hand-operated versions, along with the first and second stage hand seamers you need to start and finish each run.A seamer only works on the panel family it was built for. Seam height (1, 1.5 or 2 inch), lock type and material thickness all have to match, and some seamers will not run on certain profiles at all. Always ask the seller which panel profiles the machine was used on and compare that to yours before you pay.New power seamers list from roughly $2,950 for a WUKO 1006 to $4,450 for an ESE K9DL double-lock machine and about $5,250 for a cordless WUKO Akku Lok’n’Bak, while refurbished cordless units from dealers have been offered at $1,899 to $2,199. A used seamer that has been dropped off a roof or run dry can have grooved wheels and a worn clutch, so run it on a sample seam before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Will one seamer work on all my standing seam panels?

No. Seamers are built around a specific seam height and lock geometry. A 1-inch double-lock seamer will not close a 2-inch seam, and some makers note their seamers do not fit certain competitor profiles. Check your panel against the seamer’s profile list.

What is the difference between a single lock and a double lock?

A single lock folds the seam 90 degrees and is common on steeper residential roofs. A double lock folds it a full 180 degrees for low slopes and high wind areas. Many seamers do both in two passes; some are single-stage only.

Is a used seamer worth buying?

Usually yes if the wheels and clutch are good, since the drive and frame rarely wear out. Budget for a battery on cordless units and compare the asking price against new prices of roughly $2,950 to $5,250 for the same class of machine.
