Profile Section
140x59x2.5mm S235JR Uncoated Steel U Profile
The 140x59x2.5mm steel U profile is a cold roll-formed plain channel to EN 10162 with a 140 mm web, 59 mm flanges and 2.5 mm sheet thickness, weighing a nominal 5.06 kg/m. Produced to order in uncoated S235JR steel, the open unlipped face slides cleanly over panels and boards, making it the standard track, edge and closure channel in light steel framing and general fabrication — supplied cut to your exact length. This variant is uncoated cold-rolled structural strip in grade S235JR (EN 10025), minimum yield about 235 MPa. The surface is bare — specify shop painting or hot-dip galvanizing in the quote when the profile will be used outdoors.
Made to Order — Roll Formed
This profile is roll-formed to order in your exact length (1–15 m; longer on project basis). Minimum production run is approx. 3000 kg per size and grade. Add your sizes to a quote request and our team confirms lead time and pricing within one business day.

Applications & Usage
U 140x59x2.5 serves as top and bottom tracks in light steel framing, edge and closure channels on sandwich panels and trapezoidal sheets, sliding-gate and door guides, machine guards, and cable or pipe routing in industrial fit-outs. Roll forming keeps the channel straight and uniform over the full length, so profiles arrive ready to fix. S235JR is the general structural grade for indoor frames, painted purlins, and profiles that will be hot-dip galvanized after roll forming. At a nominal 5.06 kg/m and cut-to-length production from 1 to 15 m, material usage is optimized with no offcuts on site. Minimum production run is approximately 3000 kg per size and grade — add your sizes to a quote request and our team confirms exact tonnage, lead time and delivered pricing.

Indicative elastic section properties computed from the nominal centerline (thin-walled, corner radii ignored). For preliminary sizing only — not a substitute for a stamped structural calculation.
Indicative load span (single span, simply supported)
Allowable uniformly-distributed load (kN/m) limited by elastic bending about the strong axis (γ = 1.5 on yield, S235JR). Deflection is not checked and usually governs long spans. Indicative only — confirm with a project calculation.
