FORGED, NOT EXTRUDED
Inline skate frames,
forged in one piece.
Four-bar self-locking frames in 6061 — where the industry extrudes and cuts, we closed-die forge. Single and double section, 12° toothless with Ø28.6 telescoping tube.
THE DIFFERENCE
Most frames are extruded. These are forged.
Extrusion pulls aluminium through a die — straight grain, constant section, joints bolted on. Closed-die forging forms the whole four-bar geometry under pressure: grain follows the load paths around every pivot boss.
| Forged frame (XPF) | Extruded + CNC | |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Formed 3-D, one piece | Cut from profile, joined |
| Grain | Follows pivots & bosses | Straight, cut at holes |
| Wall control | Variable where needed | Constant section |

WHY IT MATTERS
Self-locking = fewer parts, tighter frame
The four-bar self-locking mechanism adjusts and holds without extra hardware — a geometry that only makes sense forged, and the reason skate brands come to a forging shop for it.
FAQ
Common questions
What makes a forged inline skate frame different?
One-piece closed-die forging with continuous grain flow — no welds, no porosity — which is why our four-bar self-locking frames stay stiff under hard push-offs.
Which alloy do you use for skate frames?
6061-T6 as standard; 7075-T6 for high-load frames. Both are forged in-house with mill certificates per batch.
Do you offer single-section and double-section frames?
Yes — both layouts are available, forged to your drilling specification and mounting standard.
Which finishes can I choose?
Sandblast silver, sandblast black and colour anodising, all done in-house after CNC machining.
Can you forge frames from our own design?
Yes — send STEP, DWG or PDF. An engineer reviews forgeability and replies with a feasibility opinion and cost range.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. Dies are designed and cut in-house, so your frame drawings never leave our floor.
What quality documents come with a frame order?
Mill certificate per alloy batch and a dimensional report per shipment; FAI documentation on request.
Do you support small batches and new frame programs?
Yes — new frame programs are quoted per part number, and prototypes are possible before volume.
How detailed is the first reply?
Most designs receive a feasibility opinion and cost range within 3 working days.
Where do you ship from?
Guangming District, Shenzhen — export packed and shipped worldwide.
Skate program?
Custom lengths, sections and colours from your spec.
