5 Reasons Jumbo HSS are an excellent option for structures with large load demands:

  • Jumbo HSS offer a superior and cost-effective alternative to open sections and built-up, welded box sections
  • Jumbo HSS offer improved functional performance and design flexibility
  • Jumbo HSS sizes meet both the ASTM A500 and CSA G40 industry standards
  • Jumbo HSS have high anti-seismic performance
  • Jumbo HSS have less surface area
