UNIMAST
Forklift mast channel machining
Unimast
- Multi-sided machining and automatic feeding of profiles
- High output – up to 80.000 pairs per year
Precision and machining in pairs
The UNIMAST is a state-of-the-art vertical CNC machining center designed specifically for forklift mast channels. This CNC machine seamlessly integrates into your existing production flow and processes mast channels in the exact order required for the subsequent processes like welding. The flexible product clamping ensures that no changeover is necessary when switching between profile shapes and dimensions. Profile lengths ranging from 1 to 8 meters can be processed in any combination without interruption.
This dedicated CNC machine delivers the highest levels of productivity, flexibility and safety. Additionally, it is easy to program and user-friendly.
Benefits
Maximizing throughput
Our UNIMAST CNC machine processes rolled steel mast channels in pairs, securely clamped in a double NC-controlled indexer, one for the left beam and the other for the right beam. This enables simultaneous machining of both beams in a single operation ensuring efficient material flow and seamless integration into your production line.
Unmatched flexibility
At Unisign, we understand the complexities of forklift mast manufacturing. The UNIMAST accommodates a wide range of profiles, including H, U, I, and custom shapes, in varying cross-sections and lengths. It processes profiles from 1 to 8 meters long and can rotate them along their longitudinal axis for precise machining on all four sides.
Switching between profile types is quick and efficient, enabling you to handle even the most diverse product ranges on a single machine.
Enhanced safety and operator comfort
The UNIMAST is fully enclosed, allowing for safe operation. All chips are collected within the enclosure and transported out via a chip conveyor.
Loading and unloading
Mast channels are either placed manually on the loader or automatically retrieved from your warehouse. Scanning the barcode or other product codes matches the appropriate machining program, and the machine automatically configures itself. After machining, the channels are transferred to the exit position, ready for the next operation.

We have established a world leading position in front axle machining. Truck manufacturers and suppliers use our UNITWIN CNC machine to produce more than 2 million front axles every year.
For everything from bogies to wheels and weld preparation to wheel carrier machining, Unisign has highly versatile machines like the Uniport6000 and Uniport7000. These gantry style machining centres are part of the machine tool program that have been designed to deliver extremely high capacity, dynamics, rapid acceleration and offer a generous working area.
Heavy duty turning, milling and drilling characterises the production of components for energy-producing equipment like (wind) turbines. So you need a CNC machine that can take the load. A mill-turn machining centre like the Unicom6000, Unicom7000 and the Uniport7000-MTC or a multi-functional Uniport6000 and Uniport7000 are the ideal solution for producing these demanding parts.
Pumps and valves for the oil & gas industry can be highly complex parts to produce with seals, gaskets, flanges and requirements like spiral grooves and elliptical conical eccentric turning. The machining centres from Unisign, with their high degree of automation and specially designed software, are a unique solution capable of milling parts that others cannot.
At Unisign we understand that our customers don’t just buy a CNC machine, they buy a process. And price per part is key. So for general applications we offer high torque machines with high material removal rates, including 5-axis and 5-sided machining and a choice of moving table or palletized, depending on the footprint available.
