406 x 178 x 60 kg Universal Beam S355
Rolled as a universal beam measuring 406.4 × 177.8 mm, the 406 x 178 x 60 kg Universal Beam S355 carries load in bending across a span rather than in axial compression. The web is thin relative to the flanges, so any large service penetration or a heavy point load over the bearing will need stiffening or a web-opening check.

At 60 kg per metre, one tonne buys roughly 16.7 linear metres. At this weight, lifting is a planned operation — allow for crane capacity, slinging points and safe laydown before the delivery arrives. Held in S355 to BS EN 10025-2 and cut to length before it leaves the yard. Mill certificates accompany every load, and any fabrication is executed under our BS EN 1090 EXC 3 factory production control.
Typically specified for transfer beams over removed walls, mezzanine framing, steel-framed extensions, garage and carport openings and crane gantry runway support.
Beams are supplied with square-cut ends as standard; end plates, cleats, notches and bolt holes are drilled to your detail before delivery.
