Channels
Stellanox supplies Channels engineered for strength, stability, and multi-purpose use across construction, machinery, automotive, utility, and infrastructure sectors. Offered in a range of sizes, thicknesses, and profiles, our channels deliver consistent performance in structural and load-support applications.
We offer standard C Channels, U Channels, and Hat Sections that comply with ISO, ASTM, BS, DIN, and ANSI specifications. Custom fabrication, surface finishes, and punched configurations are available on request.
What are Channels?
Channels are U- or C-shaped structural components used to support loads, frame structures, or mount mechanical assemblies. Their profile offers high bending resistance and is especially useful in applications where space and strength are critical.
Stellanox channels are available with uniform or tapered flanges, slotted holes, or as custom-fabricated profiles tailored to project-specific designs.
