Universal Columns FAQs

What are universal columns used for?

Universal columns are mainly used for vertical structural support in steel frames, building supports, mezzanines, platforms and heavy-duty fabrication projects where a strong load-bearing section is required.

What is the difference between a universal column and a universal beam?

Universal columns are generally designed for vertical support, while universal beams are more commonly used for horizontal spanning applications. Columns usually have a more balanced depth and width, making them better suited to upright load-bearing positions.

Can universal columns be used horizontally?

Universal columns can be used horizontally in some designs, but the correct section depends on the load, span and structural calculations.

Can universal columns be drilled or welded?

Yes. Universal columns can usually be drilled, welded and fabricated using the correct equipment and processes. Any structural alterations should follow the project specification and be completed by a competent fabricator.
