At Inprofile 2000, we specialise in manufacturing a wide variety of roll formed steel profiles designed to meet diverse industry needs. Each steel profile shape offers unique benefits and is suited to specific structural, industrial, and commercial applications.
Understanding the different types of roll formed steel profiles can help you select the ideal solution for your project’s requirements.
C-sections are one of the most commonly used steel profiles in construction and industrial framing. Their strong yet lightweight design makes them perfect for:
Structural frameworks
Solar panel racking systems
Door and window frames
These profiles provide excellent load-bearing capacity and are easy to install, making them a reliable choice for many projects.
U-channels are versatile steel sections widely used in shelving, edge protection, and guide rail applications. Their open profile allows for:
Easy attachment to various surfaces
Use in warehouse racking and retail shelving
Structural reinforcement in light to medium load scenarios
U-channels combine cost efficiency with functional flexibility, ideal for both commercial and industrial environments.
Z-profiles offer unique strength and stability, especially suited for roofing and wall cladding applications. They are commonly used as:
Roofing purlins
Wall girts
Cladding support beams
Their interlocking design provides superior resistance to bending and shear forces, ensuring durable, long-lasting structures.
Closed profiles, including square and rectangular tubes, provide excellent torsional strength and impact resistance. These profiles are preferred in:
Trailer and truck body manufacturing
Mining and heavy machinery supports
Columns and load-bearing frameworks
Their closed shape distributes loads evenly, making them ideal for applications requiring high durability and structural integrity.
When standard profiles don’t meet your specific needs, Inprofile 2000 offers custom roll forming solutions. Our advanced CAD design and in-house tooling capabilities allow us to manufacture bespoke steel sections with precise dimensions and finishes.
Custom profiles can include:
Unique cross-sectional shapes
Perforations and punched holes
Special coatings and galvanising options
This flexibility enables us to deliver the exact steel profiles your project demands.
Our roll formed steel profiles serve a broad spectrum of industries, including:
Construction and building frameworks
Mining infrastructure and supports
Warehouse racking and shelving systems
Automotive and transport manufacturing
Logistics and conveyor systems
