I beam and crane H beam are widely used in crane structure. What is the difference between the I beam and H beam?

  • Flange, there is no inclination of the inner surface of the flange, the upper and lower surfaces are parallel.
  • The medial of two outside of crane H-beam has no Slope is flat.
  • Crane H beam section properties is significantly superior to the traditional beams, channels angle steel.
  • Crane H beam, the distribution of cross-sectional area is more optimized, and the ratio of strength to weight is more reasonable. It is an economical section efficient profile. Because its cross-section is the same as the letter "H", it is called steel H beam. This makes the crane H beam welding splicing simply than steel I beam, better mechanical properties per unit weight, and can save a lot of material and construction time.

Which do you prefer, crane I beam or H beam? Generally, crane I beam’s cross section can bear direct pressure and good resistance to pull, but the flange of cross-sectional dimensions is so narrow that it is not torsional. Crane H beam is opposite, so both of them have their pros and cons.
