The structural channel, also known as a C-channel or Parallel Flange Channel (PFC), is a type of (usually structural steel) beam, used primarily in building construction and civil engineering.
Steel Channel is mostly getting used in industrial maintenance, agricultural implements, transportation equipment, truck beds, trailers, etc.
The Steel Channel is a hot rolled, mild steel structural C shape with inside radius corners that is ideal for all structural applications, general fabrication, manufacturing, and repairs.
Heavy-duty steel channel is typically used to create the mainframe rails, running from the front of the vehicle to the back.
Lighter steel channels can also be used to create cross members, braces or for structural components such as radiator supports.
Steel channel is a versatile product that is available in many sizes and thicknesses. Its cross-section structured like a squared-off C, with a straight back and two perpendicular extensions on the top and bottom.
Some types of steel channel (C Purlin) add short inward-facing lips to the end of the extensions, parallel to the back, which makes the structure more rigid, similar to rectangular steel tubing. Other types of the channel (Unistrut) have holes or perforations for bolting purposes, and others may add a slight ridge to the back to further increase rigidity.
Application of the product:
Steel channel has many uses, mostly structural, and here are a few common examples:
