Looking for a Mast Profile Manfacturer / Distributor

I'm working on a new product design where I'm considering using forklift mast channels and bearings to allow the equipment to lift itself up. The problem I'm running into is I have been unable to locate a US manufacturer for forklift mast channels (something along the lines of Marcar Steel and Engineering Limited would be perfect). I'd prefer a US manufacturer but am willing to work with a US based distributor if necessary.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Steel of West Virginia produces rolled channels for lift truck manufacturers and have for many years. But as I recall they make channels to the manufactures specifications and the lift truck company pays for the specific rollers to form the channel sections. This means thee channels are proprietary to the specific lift truck company. They probably produce "common" channel sections that may fit your needs you'll need to contact them and see if & how they can help you.
