MS Channels, also called C-Channels or U-Channels, are structural steel sections shaped like the letter “C”. They provide excellent vertical load support and are widely used in construction frameworks.
They are commonly used in:
Building frames
Mezzanine floors
Roof structures
Industrial sheds
Truck bodies
Machinery supports
Warehouse structures
Channels are typically available in sizes ranging from 75 mm to 400 mm depth, with thickness from 5 mm to 16 mm, and weights ranging from 7 kg/m to over 50 kg/m depending on size.
Their structural design allows efficient load distribution while keeping overall structure weight economical.
Benefits include:
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Easy connection with other steel sections
- Ideal for structural framing applications
- Suitable for light and heavy constructions
