Mobility

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

Fields of applications:

Non-driven axles, e.g.

For trailers, caravans and busses

Driven axles, e.g.

For trucks

General frame parts and frame structures, e.g.

For trucks, trailer, wagons, trams and busses

ROPS and FOPS, e.g.

For Yellow Goods and commercial vehicles

Bogie frames for rail vehicles and steel structures for ship building

Product characteristics and 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 fatigue, 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:

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

Higher and high-strength steel grades

For more resilience, e.g. for high safety and heavy transports
Saving weight
Over the entire product range
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
