1.Dimensions: Customizable H (100–600 mm), B (100–300 mm), t_w (6–16 mm), t_f (8–25 mm); length cut to project needs
2.Processing: Drilling, end treatment, prefab welding; beveling, grooving, spigot faceting available for connection requirements
3.Surface Treatment: Options: hot-dip galvanizing, anti-corrosion paint/epoxy, sandblasting, mill finish; selected per environment & corrosion protection needs
4.Marking & Packaging: Custom marking (project No./model); packaging fits flatbed or container shipping
Ordinary Surface
Galvanized Surface (hot-dip galvanizing thickness ≥ 85μm, service life up to 15-20 years),
Black Oil Surface
Building Construction: Utilized in high-rise office buildings, multi-story residential buildings, shopping malls, and other architectural projects as frame beams and columns, and as the principal structural members and crane beams in industrial buildings. It is also used for main structural members and crane beams within industrial buildings.
Bridge Engineering: The system is suitable for small to medium-span highway and railway bridges providing deck systems and support structures.
Municipal & Special Projects: Appropriate for use in subway stations, supports for urban line pipe corridors, tower crane footings and temporary construction supports.
Industrial Plant Support: Functions as a key component within industrial structures, providing both vertical and horizontal support as well as bracing for the entire frame.
1) Branch Office - Spanish-speaking support, customs clearance assistance, etc.
2) Over 5,000 tons of stock in stock, with a wide variety of sizes
3) Inspected by authoritative organizations such as CCIC, SGS, BV, and TUV, with standard seaworthy packaging
PACKING
Simple Protection: Each bundle is packed in tarpaulin with 2-3 desiccant bags in the bundle and covered with heat-sealed rainproof tarpaulin.
Bundling: Strapping is made of 12-16mm Φ steel strap which is suitable for American port lifting equipments, 2-3 tons per bundle.
Conforming Label: Bilingual (English + Spanish) labels are applied with the material, specification, HS code, batch and test report number clearly marked.
DELIVERY
Road transport: For short distances or when direct access to the construction site is possible, load is trucked with securing anti-slip devices.
Rail transport: Long distance, bulk transport with less cost than long distance road transport.
Sea transport: Employed in international transportation or to closed containers for transporting long products in bulk or open top containers.
Inland waterway/barge transport: Ultra-large H beams can be shipped in large quantities on rivers and inland waterways.
Special transport: H beams which are too large and/or are too heavy to transport by regular means are transported by multi axle low-flatbed or combination trailers.
US MARKET SHIPPING: ASTM H-Beams are shipped to the Americas in container loads, they are straped with steel straping, protected at the ends, and can be treated for rust prevention to protect the beams while en route.
Q: Which standards do your H-beams follow for Central America?
A: Our H-beams comply with ASTM A36 and A572 Grade 50, commonly used in Central America. We can also supply products meeting local standards like Mexico’s NOM.
Q: What is the delivery time to Panama?
A: Sea freight from Tianjin Port to Colon Free Trade Zone takes 28–32 days. Total delivery, including production and customs clearance, is 45–60 days. Expedited shipping is available.
Q: Do you assist with customs clearance?
A: Yes, we work with professional customs brokers in Central America to handle declarations, taxes, and other procedures for smooth delivery.
