Light welded steel structures are widely used in transportable applications such as containers, modular buildings, prefab cabins and disaster shelters. The main goals are low weight, high strength and fast assembly.
1. Sections Used in Light Structures
- Hot-rolled HEA/IPE
- Cold-formed C/Z sections
- Closed hollow sections
- Sandwich panels (non-structural)
2. Container and Modular Building Manufacturing
20 ft and 40 ft container frames are typically built from S355 angles and sheet panels. Corner castings must be positioned per ISO 668 tolerances. Modular offices and site cabins generally use light steel skeletons clad with sandwich panels.
3. Typical Sizes and Capacity
| Product | Size | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| 20 ft container | 6058×2438×2591 mm | ~2,200 kg |
| 40 ft container | 12192×2438×2591 mm | ~3,800 kg |
| Modular office | 6000×2400×2600 mm | ~1,800 kg |
4. ArmaWeld Light-Structure Production
At the Konya facility, ArmaWeld manufactures special-project containers, generator cabinets, transformer station enclosures and modular cabins. Surface preparation, paint/galvanizing and electrical infrastructure are available as packaged delivery options. Light structures are particularly important for export logistics due to stackability.
