New Tech Machinery sells three portable roof panel machines today, the SSR MultiPro Jr., the SSH MultiPro and the SSQ3 MultiPro, and the used market is full of the SSQ II that the SSQ3 replaced. The short version: the SSR is an electric entry machine with a manual shear, the SSH is a hydraulic mid-range machine for residential and light commercial work, and the SSQ II and SSQ3 are 16-profile commercial machines that also run wall panels. Below are the specs as NTM publishes them in 2026, the places where the numbers have changed by year, and what used machines have actually been listed or sold for.

SSR MultiPro Jr.: the entry machine
The SSR is NTM’s smallest roof panel machine and the only one without hydraulics. A 1.5 HP, 120 V single-phase motor drives eight polyurethane rollers at about 30 feet per minute, and the operator cuts each panel with a forward-pulling manual shear. It runs seven profiles, the SS100 and SS150 mechanical seams, SS450 and SS450SL snap-locks, FF100 and FF150 slotted-flange snap-locks and a T-panel, in finished widths of 12 to 16 inches from 15 to 20 inch coil. Material tops out at 24-gauge steel, .040 aluminum and 20 oz copper.
At 1,715 lb bare and 12 feet 6 inches long it fits in an enclosed trailer or on NTM’s TR12-D trailer, which lists separately at $19,650. The machine itself starts at $44,900 in 2026, up from the $37,000 NTM quoted in 2023. It suits a residential contractor running one or two profiles who wants to stop buying factory panels, and it plugs into a 20-amp circuit or a small generator. What it does not do is run fast, cut automatically or form panels wider than 16 inches.
SSH MultiPro: the mid-range hydraulic machine
The SSH takes the same seven profiles and adds a hydraulic drive and shear, a PLC batch and length controller with a touchscreen that stores 99 jobs, and roughly double the speed at about 60 feet per minute. Coil width grows to 14 to 24 inches and finished panels to 12 to 20 inches. Power is a 16 HP Briggs & Stratton gas engine or an electric motor: 5 HP 220 V single-phase at 20 amps, 7.5 HP 220 V three-phase at 18 amps, or 7.5 HP 460 V three-phase.
NTM lists the bare machine at 2,360 lb and 12 feet 10 inches long, and 4,620 lb on the trailer with the roller set, power pack and rib rollers. The trailer adds 2,260 lb, the overhead reel rack 336 lb and each expandable arbor 80 lb. The base price is $71,600 in 2026, which is a big move from the $52,000 a dealer quoted in mid-2023 and the $59,200 NTM itself quoted in 2024; a buyer comparing a used 2021 SSH to a new one should use the current number. NTM positions the SSH for residential and light commercial contractors who want hydraulic speed and an automatic shear without paying for 16 profiles.
SSQ II MultiPro: the commercial workhorse, now discontinued
The SSQ II was NTM’s flagship for well over a decade and is the machine most used-market buyers are looking for. It runs 16 profiles, including the SS100 and SS150 residential seams, the SSQ200, SSQ210A, SSQ550 and SSQ675 commercial seams, TRQ250, SSQ275, the FWQ100 and FWQ150 flush wall panels, the BB750 board-and-batten profile added in 2023, and a T-panel. Coil width is 15 to 30 inches (30-inch coil needs an expandable arbor or a remote decoiler) and finished panels run 12 to 24 inches. Sixteen hydraulically driven polyurethane rollers push material at about 75 feet per minute on gas, 72 on three-phase and 50 on single-phase power, and the machine handles 22-gauge steel.
Options that matter on a used SSQ II are the UNIQ automatic control system, the notching system (which requires the automatic controller), the angled slitter for hip and valley cuts, the dual overhead reel rack rated for two 3,000 lb coils (two 2,700 lb coils with notching installed), and the free-standing decoiler for 45-inch coils. NTM’s January 2025 pricing structure listed the bare machine with a quick-change power pack and rib rollers at $63,400, a residential profile at $10,600 more and a commercial profile at $21,200 more, with complete packages from $78,600 to $161,900. Earlier, in 2023, NTM quoted a $76,000 starting price that included one profile, and buyers who added accessories typically spent $116,000 to $121,000, or $135,500 to over $200,000 with notching.
NTM discontinued the SSQ II on September 30, 2026. That does not make a used one a bad buy; it means the comparison point is now a new SSQ3, and that you should confirm parts support for the controller generation on the specific machine before you pay.
SSQ3 MultiPro: the replacement
NTM introduced the SSQ3 at METALCON in Las Vegas in October 2025 as an upgrade built on the SSQ II. The forming capability is the same on paper: 16 profiles, 15 to 30 inch coil, 12 to 24 inch panels, 28 to 22 gauge steel, the same 2,830 lb bare and 5,090 lb on-trailer weights, and the same 14 feet 4 inch frame (15 feet 4 inches with the angled slitter). What changed is around the forming section: QWIKSwap tooling, quick-change guide rods and rib roller frame to cut changeover time, sealed main drive gear covers with inspection windows, remote zerk fittings, eight interior LEDs, RFID cover sensors that tell the controller which cover is open, a shear warning strobe, improved lower guarding, and a tool-free notcher door. The Quick-Change power pack lets a crew swap between gas and electric on site, and the controller is a touchscreen with job tracking or the full UNIQ system.
NTM’s May 2026 cost article puts the bare SSQ3 at $66,600 to $68,900 depending on where on the page you read, a residential profile at $11,600, a commercial profile at $23,300, the UNIQ controller at $17,600 to $22,500, and the trailer at $18,000 to $19,000. Package prices run from $85,400 for a residential portable to $176,000 for a notching portable, and NTM’s own typical totals are $121,000 to $140,000 without notching and $141,000 to $180,000 with it. No used SSQ3 machines have reached the market as of this writing.
Where the published specs vary by year
NTM’s own spec sheets and dealer brochures do not all agree, which matters when you are reading a seller’s listing that was copied from an old brochure.
- SSQ II weight. A 2020 brochure and a 2024 catalog list the SSQ II at 4,300 lb bare and 6,500 lb on the trailer; NTM’s 2026 product page lists 2,830 lb and 5,090 lb, the same figures as the SSQ3. One dealer listing quotes 5,400 lb on the trailer. Budget for the heavier numbers when you size a tow vehicle.
- SSQ II panel widths. NTM says 12 to 24 inches; a 2023 dealer comparison said 10 to 16 inches, which appears to describe one profile rather than the machine.
- SSH gauge. The product page says 28 to 24 gauge; NTM’s own SSH versus SSQ II article says 26 or 24 gauge.
- SSR and SSH prices. SSR: $37,000 (2023) to $44,900 (2026). SSH: $52,000 (dealer, 2023), $59,200 (NTM, 2024), $71,600 (NTM, 2026).
- SSQ II base price. $76,000 with one profile (2023) versus $63,400 with no profile (2025); a 2024 trade article quoted $79,800. Different years and different inclusions, not a price cut.
- SSQ3 profiles. NTM says 16; one distributor page lists seven, which reflects the profiles that distributor sells.
What to pay used
Public data points from 2023 to 2026, all for machines with tooling: a 2022 SSQ II with a 2022 flatbed trailer asked $85,000 sold as-is, a 2022 SSQ II described as professionally maintained asked $99,500, and an SSQ II with three sets of dies and 18 hours sold for $100,000 at a Texas auction in March 2023. A 2023 SSH with gas power, a two-reel rack, three run-out stands, batch control and a trailer was listed in Texas with the price on request, and 2015 and 2017 SSR machines with trailers and covers have been listed without public prices. Used NTM machines are not common and tend to sell quickly, which keeps asking prices close to what the first owner paid.
To price any of them, start from the 2026 new price of the equivalent machine with the same profiles, controller and trailer, then take off the warranty, freight and any wear you find. Our price guide works through the math, and the inspection checklist covers what to look at on the machine.
Which one fits your work
- SSR: residential crews running one or two snap-lock or 1 to 1.5 inch mechanical seam profiles, panels to 16 inches, no hydraulics to maintain, lowest buy-in.
- SSH: residential and light commercial contractors who want hydraulic speed, an automatic shear and batch control with the same seven profiles.
- SSQ II (used): commercial contractors who need 2-inch seams, flush wall or board-and-batten, 24-inch panels, notching or an angled slitter, and who are comfortable buying a discontinued model with a large installed base.
- SSQ3 (new): the same buyer who wants the current safety features, faster changeovers, the Quick-Change power pack and a full three-year warranty.
