Tubing & Profiles

Square Tubes

Structural hollow sections for frameworks, supports, and general construction.

Product Overview

Our square tubes are hollow structural sections (HSS) manufactured through electric resistance welding (ERW) processes. The square profile provides excellent load-bearing properties and is ideal for frameworks where flat surfaces are required for connections.

Square tubes offer superior torsional strength compared to round tubes and are widely used in building construction, trailers, machinery frames, and general fabrication projects across Zambia.

Key Features

Excellent Load-Bearing

Square shape provides superior strength for vertical and horizontal loads.

Flat Surfaces

Easy to connect, weld, and bolt due to flat external surfaces.

Torsional Strength

Superior resistance to twisting forces compared to open sections.

Square Tube vs Round Tube

Square Tubes

Better for frameworks requiring flat connection surfaces. Superior for compression and bending in structural applications. Easier to bolt and join.

Round Tubes

Better for fluid transport and applications requiring rotation. Superior torsional strength. More efficient for equal strength in all directions.
