Where the Numbers Come From.
Pieces and layouts are from our standard bundle chart. Bundle weight is the A500 weight per foot times the length and the piece count.
Truckloads assume a 45,000 lb payload on a flatbed. Change it to match your carrier; for tube this size, the weight usually runs out before the deck space does.
Need a smaller bundle for your crane, or a different count for your line? We can bundle to your limits; put it on the quote form.
Bundle weight = lb/ft x length x pieces
Bundles per truck = floor(payload / bundle weight)
Questions
How many pieces are in a bundle of 2 x 2 tube?
A standard bundle of 2 x 2 square tube at 20 or 24 feet is 50 pieces, 10 across and 5 high. At 40 feet it is 30 pieces, 10 across and 3 high.
Can I get smaller bundles?
Yes. Tell us your weight or piece limit when you ask for a quote, and we will bundle to it.
How are bundles tied and tagged?
Bundles are banded and tagged at the mill. If you need your part number or a bar code on the tag, put it in the quote request.
Why is the truck number a range?
Payload depends on the tractor and trailer. A typical flatbed load is held to about 45,000 lb of steel.
