Agricultural engineering

VTS®-edgeTubes the products of choice for agricultural engineering.

The seamless, hot-rolled, square and rectangular hollow sections from voestalpine Tubulars are ideally suited for use in agricultural engineering due to their product properties. They complement the portfolio of our circular hollow sections perfectly.

Agricultural engineering

Fields of application:


Self-propelled machines, e.g.:

  • Machines for crop protection and forestry technology
  • Harvester

Cultivation machinery, e.g.:

  • Machines for soil cultivation, such as plows, disk harrows or grubber
  • Seeding machinery

Tractors, e.g.:

  • Roll-Over-Protective-Structure (ROPS)

Product characteristics and benefits:

Seamless, hot-rolled hollow sections with homogeneous structure also in the corner areas

  • Great processing opportunities due to lower residual stress
  • Increased resistance against oscillation loads and vibrations
  • Long-lasting and sustainable

Improved straightness, twisting and corner radius compared to the standard requirements

  • Advantages by reduced deformation during direct and further processing

Tighter corner radius guarantees:

  • A higher section modulus with increased safety for the end user
  • Higher load-bearing capacity, larger spans
  • Larger connecting area for connections to attachment parts and components
  • Increased efficiency for welding applications

Higher and high-strength steel grades

  • For more resilience
  • Saving weight
  • Over the entire product range
  • Weldability tests possible
  • VTS-500 as ideal solution for demanding agricultural products
  • The ideal steel grade for each application

Exceptional range of dimensions

  • Wall thickness up to 25 mm for extreme loads
  • Dimension infinitely adjustable
  • Optical advantages
  • No weld seam due to hot-rolling process
  • Excellent surface structure
  • Tighter corner radius
