Universal Columns
At Australian Steel Traders (AST), we have sourced universal columns from some of the best steel manufacturers in the world, to bring you steel products that not only deliver on quality, but also meet Australian safety standards. Universal columns – also known as I-beams or H-beams – form the foundation of countless commercial and private construction projects across Australia.
Working With Universal Columns
Engineered from high-grade steel, universal columns boast an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Their unique I or H-shaped profile efficiently distributes weight, making them ideal for supporting heavy loads over extended periods. Whether it’s a large-scale skyscraper or something simpler, universal columns from AST offer the perfect, strong solution.
The versatility of universal columns extends far beyond the realm of construction. Their inherent strength and efficient design make them a popular choice in various industries, including providing a strong and stable base for heavy machinery. They are also used in trailer construction, providing structural integrity that translates to the safe transportation of significant loads over long distances. Interestingly, their exceptional load-bearing capacity also makes them ideal for supporting the immense weight of overhead cranes, facilitating efficient material handling.
