OverviewThe 45 x 45 mm steel square tube is a galvanised heavy-duty profile with a 3 mm wall thickness designed for high static and dynamic loads. It provides a stable structural element for base frames, chassis and industrial constructions exposed to intensive logistics operations such as forklift handling.
Key benefits- High load-bearing capacity and mechanical stability under dynamic loads.
- Galvanised steel surface for corrosion protection in industrial environments.
- Modular and compatible with a system of mechanical joints for fast, screw-based assembly.
Applications- Base frames for tugger trailers and chassis frames.
- Transport trolleys, material trolleys and wheeled systems.
- Heavy-duty rack systems, shelving and storage solutions.
- Industrial custom constructions and workplace systems.
Square pipe joints (system)A dedicated system of square-pipe joints is available for 45 x 45 mm tubes to build stable constructions from individual profiles. Joints secure the pipes with screw connections and are developed for heavy-duty frames and wheeled systems where a reliable base is required.
Joints — main types- MC steel joints (45 x 45 mm) — connect square tubes (45 x 45 mm) to round pipe profiles (Ø28 mm); commonly used as corner connectors and for integrating round-pipe components (e.g. transport trolleys).
- MC4 steel joints (45 x 45 mm) — connect three square tubes (45 x 45 mm); suitable for robust shelves, racks and other heavy-duty constructions.
Compatibility- 45 x 45 mm steel square tubes are compatible with MC and MC4 joints.
- Interchangeable configurations with aluminium square tubes (45 x 45 mm) are possible.
- MC joints enable connection to Ø28 mm round pipe profiles.
Add-on parts and special attachments- Plates and rollers for surfaces and conveyors.
- Forklift guides and alignment rails.
- Drawbars (including spring drawbars) and coupling systems with pins.
- Castors, installation supports and adjustable feet for mobility and stable stands.
NotesThe system is designed to enable flexible, customised industrial solutions by combining pipes, joints and add-on parts to achieve stable, production-ready constructions.
