At Collier Metals, we understand that steel processing isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we’ve invested in a heavy gauge slitting line designed to handle the tough jobs—processing thick, wide coils into custom widths with tight tolerances.
What Is a Heavy Gauge Slitting Line?
A heavy gauge slitting line is an industrial machine built to slit thick steel coils—typically 10 gauge and thicker—into narrower strips. These strips are then recoiled and shipped for further manufacturing or distribution. The line must have the power and rigidity to handle high-strength materials without sacrificing precision or edge quality.
Our Capabilities
At Collier Metals, our 72-inch heavy gauge slitting line is equipped to process:
Hot Rolled and HRPO coils
Widths up to 72”
Thicknesses up to .375"
Coil weights up to 60,000 lbs
Narrow cuts with clean, uniform edges
Whether you’re a service center looking to supply a range of widths or a fabricator needing exact strip sizes for downstream manufacturing, we deliver reliable, repeatable results.
Why Heavy Gauge Slitting Matters
Not every slitting line can handle thick material. If the machine isn’t designed for heavy gauge, the result is poor edge quality, camber issues, or excessive downtime. At Collier Metals, our line is engineered to maintain:
Tight tolerances on thick material
Clean edges for weld-ready or form-ready strip
Consistent coil build, preventing processing issues downstream
Serving the Southeast
We serve steel distributors, fabricators, and service centers throughout the Southeast from our Atlanta facility. With a focus on fast turnarounds, competitive pricing, and high-volume capability, our heavy gauge slitting line gives your operation the edge it needs in a demanding market.
