    If you think that’s giant you should see the ones in the shipyards. I believe they can all roll a 50 foot sheet of plate.

    I rebuilt the small one at Kewanee Boiler some years ago. The rolls were 16 feet long. I also worked on their big one which had rolls about this size diameter , but were longer. That plant closed just a couple years after the rebuild.

    I'm currently in process of building a 4ft slip roll but it won't be able to do anything over possibly 1/4" if that
