1. Industrial plant steel frame: As the main load-bearing component of the plant, it supports the roof and floor loads, is suitable for large-span workshops, and builds a stable steel structure framework for the plant.
2. Steel structure truss corridor: The main body of the truss used for elevated corridors and river-crossing passages, bearing the self-weight and traffic loads of the passage, with a simple design and stable stress.
3. Main structure project of high-rise buildings: Used in the load-bearing framework of high-rise and super-high-rise construction sites, it bears vertical and lateral loads, ensuring the strength of the building structure.
4. Large-span indoor steel structure: Used as the main beams and columns of large indoor warehouses and workshops, achieving large-span layout, with high space utilization and convenient construction.
The Royal Group's wide-flange steel beams are precisely sized, stable in performance, and durable. They are suitable for various overseas building steel structure projects. The products are manufactured according to the ASTM standards and have stable quality.
1. Stable Structural Performance: The cross-section is evenly stressed, with good bending and seismic resistance properties, suitable for large-span floor slabs and building load-bearing frameworks.
2. Compliant with ASTM Standards: Made according to A992, A572 Gr50, and A36, the surfaces are smooth without burrs, meeting the requirements of North American projects.
3. Easy to Process: Welding, cutting, and punching are convenient. They support galvanizing, painting, and customized deep processing.
4. Direct Factory Supply: There is an ample supply of products, flexible order placement, eliminating the middleman price difference and saving procurement costs.
5. Full set of paperwork available: mill test reports and SGS or BV inspection certificates are supplied to support customs clearance and site approval.
Export packaging: Depending on the transportation conditions, we will use steel straps to bind the W Beam, or in some cases, we may need to wrap it with waterproof film and install anti-collision protection to prevent rusting, bumps, dents and deformation during the shipping process.
Minimum Order Quantity: Accepts small batch trial orders, and has sufficient stock for large projects.
Document Services: Can provide complete customs clearance documents including commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, material certificates, and origin certificates.
