Square Structural Steel Tubing
Structural steel tubing is designed to provide strength and rigidity to structures while minimizing weight. Square tubing has a square cross-section, which makes it suitable for use in applications where rectangular shapes are needed, such as the construction of frames, supports, and other structures. It is often used to create complex structures or shapes.
Lock Joint Tube has created a variety of square structural & mechanical steel tubing in the following shapes:
- Square Tubing with Sharp Corners
- Square Tubing with Large Corners
We carry steel tubing in rectangle, round, oval, non-symmetrical & specialty shapes. All tubes are produced to ASTM 513 if uncoated or 787 if it is coated. LJT is also able to meet customized requirements and specialty projects.
