SHS 140x140x12.5 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 140x140 (México) · Caño estructural 140x140 (Argentina)
