Square Hollow Section

Grade: s235 JRH

Square hollow sections are also commonly known as steel box sections, box bars, and steel SHS, depending on the industry using them. A square hollow section is a piece of mild steel with a hollow square-shaped cross-section. They are used across various industries in a range of different applications such as construction and manufacturing due to their durability. The square shape provides equal strength across both axes, allowing them to withstand high levels of load. They are also easily fabricated, and straightforward to cut, shape and weld which contributes towards them being a cost-effective solution.
