Steel channels in Melbourne cut to length and drilled or punched before delivery, supplied by McKean’s Sheetmetal Fabricators in Hallam.
If you need steel channels in Melbourne cut to length before they get to site, we can supply and process them from our Hallam workshop. Channels sit in our steel range alongside equal angles, flat bars and rounds, so one order can cover more than one section.
Where Can You Buy Steel Channels in Melbourne Cut to Length?
From us at McKean’s Sheetmetal Fabricators in Hallam. We bandsaw channels to the lengths on your cutting list, so you are not trimming standard mill lengths on site. Cutting at the supplier can also mean fewer offcuts to deal with.
We supply trade customers, and channels are one of several sections we cut and drill to order. Our steel sales page also lists rectangular and square hollow sections, plate and sheet, so you can ask about the other material a job needs at the same time as your steel channels in Melbourne.
What Can We Do to Steel Channels Before Delivery?
- Cutting to length: Bandsawing to the lengths on your list.
- Drilling and punching: High-speed drilling and punching for features such as cleat holes, bolt holes and base plate slots, where the job calls for them.
- Finish options: Steel can be supplied raw, primed or hot-dip galvanised. The right finish depends on where the section will be used, so ask us which finish is available for the channel you need.
- Delivery to site: Direct delivery to sites across Melbourne.
- Fabrication: If a job also needs sheet metal work, our cutting and fabrication services can sit alongside the supply order.
Having cutting, drilling and punching in one workshop means a section can be processed in a single stop before it leaves Hallam.
How Should You Specify Channels Before You Order?
Check the section size, thickness and grade against your drawings or engineer’s specification before you order, since a section that looks close but isn’t right can hold up a job. If your drawings call up a standard, quote it on your order. AS/NZS 3679.1 is the Australian/New Zealand standard for hot-rolled bars and sections, and it is listed in the Australian Steel Institute library.
We can’t tell you what suits your build, so the specification needs to come from your drawings. What we can do is work from them. A clear-cutting list should include:
- Section and size: The channel size and thickness your drawings call for.
- Length and quantity: Each cut length and how many you need.
- Grade and standard: Whatever your drawings specify.
- Finish: Raw, primed or galvanised.
- Holes and slots: Positions and sizes for any drilling or punching.
- Delivery: The site address and any access limits for a truck.
If a job is still being detailed, tell us. Changes to lengths or hole positions are easier to sort out before cutting starts than after the steel has been processed.
