Structural hollow sections

Hybox® cold formed high-grade hollow sections

Hybox® is a cold formed, high-grade multi-purpose hollow section, offering trusted formability and toughness. It is batch-tested for your assurance and perfect for projects where you require guaranteed minimum strength and mechanical properties. It can be used in a wide range of structural and engineering applications, including all those where specific properties and compliance with design codes are required.

Hybox® fully complies with the European Standard for cold formed structural hollow sections, EN10219 S355 J2H and is used in a wide range of construction and mechanical related applications including wind bracing and machinery.
