How forklifts help us in daily operations? Watch our short video and see how we handle steel with forklifts. We use two types of forklifts: a traditional counterbalance forklift and a combilift, which allows for driving in both directions. Both are used for loading and offloading steels on each step of the fabrication process. Watch a… Continue reading How forklifts help us in daily operations?

What are thermal breaks?
What are thermal breaks? When they are used? Last week we’ve welcomed Chris from Farrat who gave us an informative presentation on thermal breaks used in the construction industry. Watch our short interview with Chris and learn more. In construction, breaks prevent or reduce the flow of thermal energy between elements of a building. Structural… Continue reading What are thermal breaks?

Galvanization or galvanizing is the process of applying a protective coating to steel or iron, to prevent rusting. This can be applied to a wide variety of steel products from structural steel to art elements. Before… Continue reading What is galvanising? Steelo & Joseph Ash Galvanising
Standards for the UK steel construction
Structural steel is a popular material in the construction industry mainly thanks to its properties: steelwork is reasonably fast to erect on a building site, no need for formwork, high ductility, visual aesthetics. When it comes to designing and installing the steelwork, there are rules & laws to be followed, mainly for safety reasons. Most… Continue reading Standards for the UK steel construction
How we drill the steel accurately? Voortman V600
If you’re assembling any sort of steel structure, the chances are you’ll need to bolt parts together. To do that, you’ll need accurately drilled holes – this is why we use Voortman V600 beam drilling machine. The Voortman V600 beam drilling machine is CNC controlled and has one horizontal drilling unit and is extremely suitable… Continue reading How we drill the steel accurately? Voortman V600
Why we use Voortman V550?
In order to improve the speed and accuracy of steel production, we use Voortman V550 – a flat and angle processing machine, which is completely CNC controlled. We use it mainly to produce end plates for beams. As it is highly important for us, that each steel element, including plates, is fabricated accurately, so the… Continue reading Why we use Voortman V550?
Why engineers love automated drilling
If you’re assembling any sort of steel structure, the chances are you’ll need to bolt parts together. To do that, you’ll need accurately drilled holes. Here at Steelo we use Voortman beam and plate drilling machines to drill our steel. Often on sites, holes are drilled in steel beams using a magnetic drill. These drills… Continue reading Why engineers love automated drilling
