FAQ

Q1: What is steel channel mainly used for?

A: Steel channel is U‑shaped structural steel profile. It is widely used for building support, machine base, warehouse rack, curtain wall bracket, solar mounting frame and guide rail components.

Q2: What is the difference between U‑channel and C‑channel?

A: In steel trade industry, U‑channel and C‑channel generally refer to the same hot‑rolled steel channel. C‑channel sometimes describes light‑gauge cold‑formed channel, while our product is heavy‑duty hot‑rolled structural steel channel.

Q3: Could you process custom cutting length?

A: Yes, we offer cut‑to‑length service. Extra processing cost will be calculated based on your required size and order quantity, please provide your requirement in inquiry.

Q4: Which surface finish should I choose for outdoor project?

A: Hot‑dip galvanized steel channel is suggested for outdoor and humid environment for long‑term rust prevention. Black hot‑rolled channel fits indoor dry projects.

Q5: Which standards can you comply with?

A: We support ASTM A36, GB/T707‑2008, JIS SS400. Please specify standard requirement when sending inquiry.

Q6: Can you do drilling, punching and bending processing?

A: Yes, secondary processing including drilling holes, punching, bending and marking is available. Please attach technical drawings for accurate quotation.

Q7: What is your minimum order quantity?

A: MOQ is 1 ton. Mixed different sizes in one shipment is acceptable.

Q8: What is your lead time?

A: Normally 7‑15 working days upon receiving deposit, subject to total order quantity.
