Beam Post Slotted Galvanized – 02

Galvanized beam post units in this listing are supplied as a slotted W-section series, fabricated by PCJ Steel for use as structural columns, beams, and bracing members in solar racking systems. Produced in W6 and W8 profiles with a hot-dip galvanized surface, this galvanized beam post batch (Project 02) is intended for ground-mounted solar farms, fixed-tilt racking, and rooftop installations that require dependable corrosion protection in outdoor environments.

Galvanized Beam Post Specifications (Slotted W6-W8 Series)

The table below lists the sizes available in this galvanized beam post series, with unit weights ranging from 7 to 25 lbs per foot. All sections are produced in ASTM A572 Grade 50 or A992 steel and finished with a hot-dip galvanized coating. Exact profile selection should always follow the project’s approved structural drawings, wind-load calculations, and connection design rather than this table alone.

Applications of Galvanized Beam Post in Solar Racking Systems

In a typical solar mounting structure, galvanized beam post members serve as the vertical columns and horizontal beams that carry the main racking load down to the foundation. They are commonly paired with other galvanized components, including C and Z purlins, galvanized CHS, and galvanized SHS, which handle secondary framing, bracing, and connection details across the array.

Matching the beam post spacing and connection points with the purlin and bracing layout early in the design stage helps reduce on-site fabrication adjustments and keeps installation schedules on track. Ground-mounted farms, fixed-tilt systems, and solar carports all rely on this combination of profiles to meet project-specific load and span requirements.

Manufacturing Standards for Galvanized Beam Post

Each galvanized beam post shipped by PCJ Steel is rolled from ASTM A572 Grade 50 or A992 structural steel and then hot-dip galvanized to protect exposed surfaces in coastal, tropical, and high-humidity project locations. Coating thickness and mechanical properties are checked against the applicable ASTM International requirements before the finished sections are packed for export. Consistent adherence to these standards is particularly important for solar developers who need matching sections across several delivery batches feeding into the same racking design.

Fabrication Support from PCJ Steel

Beyond the standard sizes listed above, PCJ Steel can fabricate galvanized beam post components to custom lengths, hole patterns, and connection details based on approved project drawings. This work is carried out through the same Vietnam-based fabrication workflow used for OEM steel products, covering drawing review, material sourcing, cutting, galvanizing coordination, quality inspection, and export packing. Clients planning solar structures that combine beam posts with purlins, CHS, or SHS members can request a single fabrication and delivery plan covering every required profile.

Packing and Delivery

Galvanized beam post orders are bundled and strapped on pallets, as shown above, to protect the galvanized coating during transit. PCJ Steel coordinates packing, container loading, and delivery documentation for export shipments, and can adjust bundle sizes or protective wrapping based on the destination port and shipping method. Clients should confirm required packing details together with the profile sizes and quantities when requesting a quote.
