Easy handling with a new length of tubes

Weland Stål has developed a new tube in Magnelis and the company also adjust the length of tubes for easier transport. Nowadays there are tubes in the length of 1.5 meters and 2.3 meters.

The 2.3 meter tube (RR2723) is 2350 mm long with a crimped end. The tube is used to ridge railing, eaves railing, snow guard, snow stop, guardrail height 500, 1100mm, Weflex railing and evacuation gangway. The 1.5 meter tube (RR2715) is 1500 mm long and the end is not crimped. It is used to guardrail height 500 mm.

Easier transport

The tubes have been changed to a shorter length mainly due to make the transport easier. All goods longer than 2.4 meters will cost extra to carry, and it usually takes an extra day of delivery then it is counted as "special" and handled outside the ordinary timetable. According to Ulf Gustavsson, marketing manager at Weland Stål, the change means even easier handling for customers.

- The new tube is easier to handle and work with. Customers will also notice a simplification of delivery, says Ulf Gustavsson.

Amended splicing

The new tubes are made in Magnelis and is as previously shrunk at one end. In addition to the length the new tubes have two self-drilling screws. These are available in sets of ten pieces or 50 pieces, lock-in ends as before.
