Universal Beam steel product

Universal Beams


Universal Beams, also known as UB’s, are made to AS3679/300 standards. They are also known as “I” beams, named after the ‘I’ shaped appearance of their cross section. The vertical middle section of the beam is known as the ‘web’ and the horizontal components are called ‘flanges’. The vertical “web” of a Universal Beam is significantly longer than horizontal “flange”. Southern Steel QLD supplies Universal Beams in a variety of sizes and weights. Commonly used in building structures to support floors or roofs, UB’s are ideal for use in a variety of settings including construction, transport and mining infrastructure, storage and manufacturing.

Universal Steel Column product

Universal Columns


‘UC’ or ‘H beam’  columns are square-shaped dimensions designed to support weight on a vertical axis. This design makes them ideal for applications where strength must be similar in both directions and the beam needs to be resistant to twisting. Universal columns are a key component of any major support or structural stability in building construction. They are manufactured in Australia from 300PLUS steel and exceed the minimum requirements of AS 367**.

Steel Equal Angle product

Equal Angles


Steel angles are roll-formed steel formed by bending a single angle in a piece of steel, creating an ‘L’ shaped product. Equal angles have two axes of the same length (equal) that make a 90-degree angle. They are a multi-purpose steel component often used for reinforcement, framing, trims and brackets. They can be cut to any size and made in various strengths and thicknesses. The larger the steel angle, the more weight and stress-bearing properties.  Equal angles are manufactured in accordance with AS/NZS 3679.1.

Line Drawing of an equal angle with details
  • Manufactured in accordance with the requirements of Australian Standard AS/NZS 3679.1 2016 in grade 300

Steel Parallel flange channel product

Parallel Flange Channels


Parallel flange channels (PFCs) are hot-rolled carbon steel channels, sometimes called ‘C sections’ or ‘C channel beams.’ Constructed using a vertical web and top and bottom horizontal flanges with inside radius corners, the shape provides superior structural support, making parallel flange channels an ideal product for frames and braces. They are used for machinery, enclosures, vehicles, truss support beams, floor beams and portal frames. PFCs are available in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses.
