Cut Metal for Transport

In the dynamic world of transportation, we supply cut to size metal to support transport manufacturing.

Metal serves as the backbone for a multitude of transport – from land to sea, and rail to road. At Click Metal, our expertise in metal supply shines through in our recommendations for the most suitable metals for your transportation projects.

Metal components for transport manufacturing

Our selection of stocked metals is specifically chosen for their compatibility with transportation-focused projects:Stainless Steel

Within the transport industry, metals are not just materials but enablers of modern mobility and structural marvels. Our offerings at MG Metals are selected for their superior performance in transportation-related projects.

The following metals are our top recommendations for transportation applications, chosen for their unique properties and benefits:

Aluminium

Renowned for its usage in the transportation sector, aluminium's consumption is significant, comprising 27% of the industry's total metal use. Beyond its foundational strength, aluminium's lightweight nature is a boon for energy conservation, contributing to enhanced fuel efficiency.

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel withstands corrosion, making it indispensable within the transport sector. Its robustness is particularly beneficial in infrastructure that is exposed to the elements and heavy usage. Stainless steel's resilience is critical for the structural integrity and longevity of bridges and tunnels, which are essential for seamless travel.

Railway tracks, owing to their exposure to various environmental factors, benefit from the rust-resistant properties of stainless steel, ensuring reliable and safe rail travel.

We stock the following metal profiles:

Aluminium Equal Angles

Aluminium equal angles are commonly used in automotive manufacturing, especially for framing, supports, and brackets due to their strength and equal leg lengths which provide symmetry and balance.

Aluminium Unequal Angles

These are utilised in shipbuilding and railcar construction, providing structural integrity where different lengths are required for stability and design specifications.

Stainless Steel Equal Angles

Stainless steel equal angles offer corrosion resistance and are essential in creating reinforced structural components in buses and trains, and in areas exposed to de-icing salts or coastal environments.

Aluminium Channels

Aluminium channels are used within trailer manufacturing as they contribute to lightweight yet sturdy frame construction, aiding in better fuel efficiency for the vehicles.

Aluminium Round Tubes

These tubes are used in automotive structural applications, like roll cages in racing vehicles, due to their ability to withstand high stress while maintaining a light weight.

Stainless Steel Round Tubes

These are integral in exhaust systems and fuel injection lines for various transportation modes due to their durability and corrosion resistance.

Aluminium Flat Bars

Aluminium flat bars are applied in constructing vehicle body panels and decorative trims, offering a combination of lightweight characteristics with substantial strength.

Stainless Steel Flat Bars

Used in manufacturing components that require high strength and resistance to rust, like fasteners and trim pieces in automotive and aerospace industries.

Aluminium Round Bars

These round bars are often found in the construction of aircraft structures and transport vehicle frames, contributing to the overall reduction of vehicle weight.

Stainless Steel Round Bars

Stainless steel round bars are typically used for parts that require high strength and resistance to heat and corrosion, such as engine parts and landing gear components.

Aluminium Square Bars

They are used in the manufacturing of structural components for public transportation systems due to their strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance.

Stainless Steel Square Bars

These bars are chosen for heavy-duty structural components in transport infrastructure, like support beams in railway construction, where durability and longevity are critical.

Aluminium Sheets and Plates

Aluminium sheets and plates are used in car bodywork and marine vessel construction.

Aluminium Tread Plates

These plates are used in flooring and steps for buses, trucks, and rail cars to provide a non-slip surface that is durable and resistant to wear.

Stainless Steel Sheets

Due to their hygienic and easy-to-clean properties, stainless steel sheets are used in food transportation vehicles and also in critical components like vehicle chassis and body panels that demand a high level of durability.
