STEEL BEAMS

Carbon steel structural beams are manufactured in two configurations. Both are constructed with a vertical web in the center of the beam, with horizontal flanges on top and bottom. The structure of the beam provides superior load-bearing support.

Standard American Beams. Also known as Junior Beams, S Beam, or I Beams have tapered flanges for increased strength of the flanges.

Wide Flange Steel Beams - Also known as W Beams or H Beams have non-tapered flanges that are wider than the standard S or I beams.

I- and H- beams are widely used in the construction industry to provide support for buildings and load-bearing walls. They are available in a variety of standard sizes and selected based on the applied load for the required application. I-beams may be used both as beams and as columns.

Applications for I Beams:

• Construction support beams for commercial and residential construction
• Support frames and columns for trolley ways, lifts and hoists
• Mezzanines and platforms
• Trailer and truck bed framing

Applications for W or H Beams:

• Construction support beams for commercial and residential construction
• Mezzanines and platforms
• Bridges
• Trailer and truck bed framing
• Machine bases
