SHS 120x120x8.8 V&M do Brasil · Weight & Dimensions
V&M do Brasil, hot-rolled sections · Square Hollow Section
Square Hollow Sections (SHS) are tubular profiles with equal sides, ideal for columns and compression members due to their uniform buckling resistance in all directions.
Also known as: PTR 120x120 (México) · Caño estructural 120x120 (Argentina)
