Packaging
Basic protection: Each bundle of steel is wrapped with a tarpaulin, and 2 to 3 bags of desiccant are placed inside. The outer layer is sealed with heat-sealed waterproof tarpaulin.
Binding method: Using steel bands with a diameter of 12–16 mm for binding, suitable for lifting equipment at American ports, each bundle weighs 2–3 tons.
Identification labels: Adhesive bilingual labels are attached, indicating the material, specification, HS code, batch number, and test report number, along with the test report.
Transportation Methods
Road transportation: For short-distance transportation or when it can directly reach the construction site, the truck is loaded and equipped with anti-slip fixation devices.
Railway transportation: Suitable for long-distance and large-scale transportation, with lower costs compared to road transportation.
Sea transportation: Can be transported using containers; for extremely long profiles, they can be transported in bulk or open-top containers.
Inland river barge transportation: Super-large H-shaped steel can be shipped in bulk through rivers and inland waterways.
Special transportation: For H-shaped steel with extremely large dimensions and excessive weight that cannot be transported by conventional vehicles, it is transported using multi-axle low flatbed trailers or combined trailers.
Shipping Instructions for the US Market
ASTM H-shaped steel sent to the Americas is packaged in bundles, with steel bands for binding, with the ends protected, and can be treated for rust prevention to ensure the goods are not damaged by rust during transportation.
Q1: Can the ASTM A992 steel beams be cut as needed?
A: No problem. Royal Group can cut steel beams to the lengths required by customers based on the drawings and project conditions.
Q2: What specifications of W-shaped steel beams are available for selection?
A: There are a wide range of available specifications for W-shaped steel. However, they are subject to the availability of stock and production schedules. Customers send us the type number, quantity, and length, and we verify and confirm them.
Q3: Can a MTC material list be provided?
A: A steel mill test certificate for MTC can be provided; if there is a demand, we can also connect with third-party inspectors such as SGS.
Q4: What are the application scenarios of ASTM A992 H-shaped steel?
A: It is mainly used in steel structure buildings, storage warehouses, commercial buildings, industrial installations, bridges, platforms, and other load-bearing structure projects.
Q5: Do you undertake component processing services?
A: Yes, we do. Based on the construction drawings, we can complete various customized processing such as cutting, drilling, and welding.
