Structural Channels
Structural steel channels engineered for framing, bracing, and general fabrication applications where a C shaped profile provides efficient load support. Hot rolled from certified steel and processed to consistent dimensional tolerances, these channels are suited for both structural and light industrial use.
Key Features
- Standard C shaped (channel) profile with flat back
- Hot rolled construction for consistent grain structure and strength
- Manufactured to ASTM A36 standard
- Straightness and camber controlled within AISC tolerances
- Mill finish, primed, or hot dip galvanized coating options
- Custom cutting, drilling, and length options for project specific orders
