Technical properties
Flange thickness can reach 40+ mm, giving HEM sections exceptional resistance to compression, lateral-torsional buckling and local buckling under concentrated loads.
Structural Steel · Heavy wide-flange: HE series
HEM Beams
Heavy wide-flange European sections for extreme loads
HEM beams are the heaviest of the European HE wide-flange series, with very thick flanges and webs designed for extreme axial compression and concentrated loads. They are specified for the heaviest building columns, transfer columns, crane gantries and heavy machinery foundations.
