Steel portal frames are rigid, pre-engineered structural systems composed of columns and rafters connected with moment-resisting joints. This type of framing is widely used in warehouses, factories, and agricultural buildings due to its clear span and quick assembly.
Key Features:
- Large clear-span areas: Enables column-free interior spaces for flexible usage.
- Efficient design: Reduces steel consumption while maintaining stability and load capacity.
- Quick installation: Prefabricated and bolted on-site, saving time and labor costs.
- Adaptable design: Can be tailored to accommodate mezzanines, cranes, and varying roof slopes.
- Weather-resistant: Durable coatings protect against moisture, UV, and industrial chemicals.
Portal frames are one of the most cost-effective choices for industrial and commercial buildings.
