U-Beam (U-Channel) – Structural Steel Channel Sections

Build strong, efficient structures with our hot-rolled U-channel steel sections. These versatile C-shaped profiles provide excellent load-bearing capacity and structural rigidity for construction, fabrication, and engineering projects. The parallel flanges and web create an efficient structural shape for beams, supports, and frames.

Key Features

• U-Shaped Profile: Parallel flanges connected by web create efficient structural section
• Hot Rolled Steel: Superior strength and durability from high-temperature manufacturing
• High Load Capacity: Excellent bending strength for beam and support applications
• Versatile Orientation: Can be used with opening up, down, or sideways depending on application
• Easy to Work: Cuts, drills, welds, and bolts with standard metalworking equipment
• Cost-Effective: Efficient structural shape provides strength with minimal material
• Multiple Finishes: Available in mill finish or hot-dip galvanized for corrosion protection

Available Sizes

Depth: 75mm to 400mm, flange width: 40mm to 100mm, web thickness: 5mm to 18mm depending on size, lengths: 6 meters standard (custom cutting available), weight: Varies by size from 6kg/m to 60kg/m.

Common Applications

• Structural Beams: Floor beams, roof purlins, and load-bearing supports
• Framework: Building frames, mezzanine structures, and platform supports
• Bracing: Lateral bracing for walls and structural stability
• Machinery Bases: Equipment mounting frames and machine supports
• Racking Systems: Warehouse shelving and storage rack uprights
• Vehicle Frames: Truck bodies, trailers, and transport equipment
• Architectural: Canopies, awnings, and decorative structural elements

Material Specifications

Grade: Mild steel S275 or equivalent, finish: Black mill finish or hot-dip galvanized, compliance: Meets Nigerian and international structural steel standards (BS, ASTM).

Design Advantages

Efficient section modulus for bending applications, flanges provide bolt connection surfaces, web resists shear forces, can be used as columns or beams, and easy to connect with standard bolts or welding.

Load Capacity

Load-bearing capacity depends on size, span, and support conditions. Consult structural engineer for critical applications. Section properties available for engineering calculations.
