Channel, sometimes called channel iron or structural steel channel, is a rolled steel iron bar featuring a C or U shape. It consists of a wide web (broader side) and two perpendicular flanges (narrow sides) that join at right angles. The inside corners of the steel channels offer enhanced strength and rigidity while the channel shape offers superior structural support.

Advantage

Steel channel is a versatile product and the variations of shape, size, and web thickness help determine the use. For example, the larger the load, the greater the cross-section thickness and flanges size you will need. Other use considerations include applied force, weight carried, and degree of tension and compression. Other benefits of our steel channel products include:

• Low cost

• Corrosion resistance

• High strength-to-weight ratio

• Easy workability

These properties make it an ideal solution for a wide variety of applications and industries.

Applications

Some common applications for steel channel include:

• Industrial door frames

• Pipe stakes

• Ship repair and ship building

• Storage racks

• Truck/trailer repair

Dues to its outstanding structural support qualities, it is most often used in the following industries:

• Construction (both residential and commercial)

• Automotive

• Transportation

• Marine industries

Product Inventory

We are a professional steel dealer. With the support of the most professional steel manufacturers and a large number of customers, we can not only provide you with ordinary steel but also help you find very personalized steels, such as special steel grades, Special sizes, special craft shapes,etc. 

Packaging and Shipping

We adopt standard export shipping packaging and bundles steel strips according to the size of the steel channel. According to our delivery experience, a 20-foot container can hold 22 tons of steel channel, and a 40-foot container can hold 25 tons of steel channel. For larger orders, we use bulk vessels to transport you, and the price is cheaper. Also, we can customize the packaging according to the needs of customers.
