Raw Material

Our beams are manufactured from high-quality steel - C1045. C1045 steel can withstand a large amount of weight and pressure.

They have qualities such as:

  • High-grade raw material
  • Precise measurements
  • Smooth surface finish
  • High durability and resistance
  • Rigorous quality control
