Welded hollow section for support platforms

Stainless Steel Rectangular Tube

Welded rectangular hollow sections are commonly considered for load-bearing frames and platforms where a wider profile is needed than square tube. Review section dimensions, wall thickness, finish and structural requirements against the project use.
