I am looking to build a trapize style hanger that will be fabricated out of 2"x2"x1/4" cold formed steel tube 10'x4'x10' the shape is a U any idea where I can find the hanging weight of this type of hanger?
A steel tube trapize hanger is a type of support system used in construction to hang or suspend objects, such as pipes or ductwork, from a ceiling or other structure. It typically consists of a steel tube with a trapezoidal shape and is designed to distribute weight evenly.
The weight capacity of a steel tube trapize hanger can vary depending on its size, material, and design. However, on average, a 10'x4'x10' U-shaped steel tube trapize hanger can hold approximately 500-700 pounds of weight.
A steel tube trapize hanger is used to provide support and stability for objects that need to be suspended from a structure. It helps distribute weight evenly and prevents objects from sagging or falling, ensuring the safety and stability of the overall structure.
The weight capacity of a steel tube trapize hanger is determined through a combination of factors, including the material and thickness of the steel tube, the shape and design of the hanger, and the method of attachment to the structure. Engineers and construction professionals use calculations and testing to determine the weight capacity of a specific hanger.
Yes, a steel tube trapize hanger can be used for different shapes and sizes of objects as long as the weight does not exceed its maximum capacity. However, it is important to ensure that the object being suspended is properly and securely attached to the hanger to prevent accidents or damage to the structure.
