Product characteristics and customer benefits:

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

  • Great processing opportunities due to lower residual stress
  • Increased resistance against dynamic loads and vibrations
  • High buckling strength
  • Durability and sustainability

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

  • Advantages by reduced deformation during processing

Tighter corner radius guarantees:

  • Higher section modulus and higher bending  strength for increased safety for the end user
  • Higher load-bearing capacity, larger spans
  • Larger connecting area and bearing face
  • Increased efficiency for welding applications

Higher and high-strength steel grades

  • For more resilience, e.g. tensile load
  • Saving weight
  • Over the entire product range
  • VTS-500 as ideal solution for sophisticated mechanical engineering and crane construction products
  • The ideal steel grade for each application
  • Weldability tests possible

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
