Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Structural Support: The U-shaped cold-rolled galvanized steel channel provides high load-bearing capacity and resistance to bending/torsional forces, ideal for building frameworks and industrial structures.
  • Versatile Fabrication: Equipped with processing capabilities (punching, bending, welding, cutting), enabling adaptation to diverse project requirements such as customized perforations or tailored dimensions.

Key features

  • 1. Cold-Rolled Galvanized Steel for Enhanced Durability

  • With cold-rolled galvanized steel (Q235/Q345), you can achieve superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity. Compared to ungalvanized alternatives, this coating extends service life in harsh environments.*

  • 2. Customizable U-Channel Design for Versatile Applications

  • With a U-shaped cross-section and customizable processing services (punching, bending, cutting), you can tailor the beam to fit specific project requirements, offering greater design flexibility than standard pre-formed channels.*

  • 3. High-Strength Performance for Heavy-Duty Use

  • With Q345/Q235 steel grades and precision tolerances (±5%), you can ensure reliable load-bearing capacity and dimensional accuracy, outperforming non-certified or lower-grade steel beams in critical structural applications.*

  • 4. Adaptability for Diverse Building and Industrial Scenarios

  • With perforated configurations and light-gauge construction, you can deploy this beam in both low-cost building frameworks and industrial systems (e.g., ventilation, mechanical components), providing cost-effective solutions compared to heavier or non-perforated alternatives.*

  • 5. Compliance with Global Certification Standards

  • With adherence to ASTM, AISI, EN, and other international standards, you can meet stringent project specifications worldwide, unlike non-certified products that may lack universal acceptance.*

Product details

Light Gage Steel Joist c Channel for Building Low Price Cold Rolled Galvanized Steel U Channel

Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Material Grade Q345: The Pro Model’s Q345 steel offers 30% higher tensile strength than Q235, enabling use in heavy industrial settings.
    • Cold-Rolled Process: Enhances formability by 20% compared to hot-rolled steel, allowing complex bends without cracking.
    • Galvanized Surface: Provides 2X longer corrosion resistance than uncoated steel, ideal for marine or humid environments.
  2. Version Selection Guidance:

    • Base Model: Best for standard residential or commercial projects requiring cost-effective solutions (e.g., partition walls).
    • Advanced Model: Suited for industrial applications (e.g., factory frameworks) needing enhanced load capacity and tighter tolerances.
    • Pro Model: Recommended for high-stress environments (e.g., offshore platforms) where extreme durability and customization are critical. With its triple-certified chemical resistance (EN ISO 12944), the Pro Model ensures safe handling of corrosive chemicals while maintaining structural integrity. Pair its customizable perforation with modular connectors to streamline assembly workflows.
