HSS - Hollow Structural Steel

    

HSS - Hollow Structural Steel is a popular welded structural product in industrial maintenance, agricultural implements, transportation equipment, and ornamental work. It’s easy to weld, cut, form, and machine, and it has an internal weld seam. Its close tolerances, good finish, and dense structure make it ideal for use in frames, roll cages, truck racks, trailers, sign posts, athletic equipment, and railings.

Cut To Length. On Demand.

HSS - Hollow Structural Steel

Steel angle has general structural purposes, and it can be riveted, bolted, or welded. It is fairly workable, being easy to weld, cut, form, and machine. It is used in the construction of buildings, bridges and machinery, as well as for a wide variety of products, including booms, rails, braces, frames, brackets, cross-members, liners, truck trailers, truck beds, and racks.
