Aluminium U Channel 32.8mm x 40mm x 3mm
Description
The 32.8mm x 40mm x 3mm aluminium U channel is a heavy-duty, precision-extruded profile made from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, offering exceptional corrosion resistance, structural strength, and dimensional accuracy. With its wide 32.8 mm base and tall 40 mm leg height, it provides superior panel coverage and secure support, while the thick 3 mm wall ensures outstanding rigidity for demanding applications.
Commonly used in industrial framing, machine guarding, reinforced edging, and structural assemblies, this U channel is designed for long-lasting performance in both indoor and outdoor environments. It can be cut, drilled, and machined to meet specific fabrication needs.
Supplied in standard 6-metre lengths with a mill finish, anodising or powder coating is available upon request for improved durability and aesthetic appeal.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
