Cold Formed Secondary Steel
We don’t buy our secondary steel, we roll it. Makloc roll forms G90 galvanized Z-purlins and C-sections in-house, in the same Nisku shop where we engineer, fabricate and assemble complete turnkey buildings. That line runs for our own projects, and for yours. If you fabricate, erect or supply steel buildings, you can buy our secondary steel directly: four depths, two gauges, cut to length, punched in line, and bundled and tagged for your erection sequence.
Roll formed in Alberta. G90 galvanized. Punched in line. Supplied loose, or as part of a complete building package.
Watch it run
Coil in one end, finished purlin out the other, formed, punched and cut to length in a single pass on the floor in Nisku.
Owned and operated in-house
No brokered supply, no third-party schedule to wait on.
Forming and punching in one pass
The holes are made as the section is made.
Cut to your lengths
Members leave the line at the size you ordered.
Two profiles. Four depths. Two gauges.
Every member is roll formed with a 76 mm (3″) flange and a 19 mm (¾″) stiffening lip. Choose the depth and gauge that suits your span, spacing and load case, or send us the loads and we’ll tell you what fits.

From material supply to full engineering.
However your project is set up, we can meet you at the right point. Makloc is a CSA W47.1 certified shop.
Material supply
Buy the secondary steel loose, cut to length and punched to your take-off. You handle the build.
New build
Secondary steel packaged for a complete new structure and sequenced to your erection plan.
Retrofit
Re-skin or re-frame an existing building with profiles matched to what is already standing.
Engineering
Our in-house engineering group can size and optimize your secondary steel and provide stamped drawings on request. Send us your loads, spans and spacing and we will size it for you, so you build with confidence.
Supply-only, straight off the line.
You don’t have to buy a building to buy our steel. Makloc supplies cold formed secondary as a stand-alone product to fabricators, erectors, general contractors and other building suppliers across Western Canada.
Quote from your take-off, or ours.
Send a bill of material, a set of drawings, or just your bay spacing, spans and loads. We’ll quote against whichever you have.
Cut to length, not cut on site.
Every member comes off the line at the length you ordered. No off-cuts to pay for, handle and dispose of.
Bundled and tagged for the sequence.
Members are banded and marked so your crew can pull what they need in the order they need it, instead of sorting a pile.
Shipped where you need it.
Delivery to your yard or direct to site.
And if the project grows past the secondary steel, we can quote the primary frame, the cladding and liner, and the complete turnkey package too, same engineering group, same shop, one point of contact.
