Angle Bar

An angle bar is used widely in many different projects. It also called an “angle iron” or “L-bracket”. It is a metal bracket, which is in the shape of a right angle. Angle iron is often used in various masonries or applied in many different surfaces via welding or drilling. These angle bars are also utilized for supporting beams and various other platforms though their effectiveness goes much beyond their normal role.

You can get additional strength by using angle bars. In addition, it can protect structures from usual corrosion and thus provide extra stability.

Following are few typical uses of angle bars:

Support to structures

In general, bulky angle bars offer structural support that is necessary for columns and beams, so that it can get additional strength as well as stability.

Besides, they will also provide both horizontal and vertical supports for the buildings, like towers and even any kind of broadcasting equipment.

Since these angle bars are usually made using galvanized steel they are much more resistant to any type of corrosion and various other weather effects.

Reinforce corners and edges

Angle bars can generally cover corners and edges, thus helping all the structures to stay in their proper shape as well as avoid normal wear and tear that is ordinarily caused by weather.

Edges and sharp corners reinforced by angle bars will last much longer. It can resist corrosion and chipping. Also, they provide extra forte and can make each corner much more stable.

Transport heavy objects

Places where lot of welding or any other industrial activities take place, angle bars are generally used for moving heavy objects to different points when other cart or trolley may not be available.

In order to do this, just flip your angle bar with the closed side that is pointing upward and also its open side will be facing the floor. Then place object on the top and try to push it so that it may slide on bar’s top point until object reaches to its destination.

Shelving units and prop frames

For bed frames, benches and tables smaller angle bar can provide effective support. Moreover, they are very frequently used as prop for shelves which is anchored on the wall.

They will provide strong support as the shelves are loaded by certain heavy things. Due to their industrial appearance, angle bars will be best suited for holding up shelves in the areas like garages or laundry rooms.
