Common Applications of 32×32×2 SHS

32×32×2 SHS is used in shelf frame and related structural framing. The square hollow profile provides equal stiffness about both axes, making it well suited for columns, posts, and members loaded in biaxial bending. APL Apollo and Tata Structura supply this section in YST 310 and YST 355 grade to IS 4923:1997 from stock at major steel distributors across India.

Worked Example

A fabricator in Nagpur needs 30 shelving bracketss of 32×32×2 SHS, each 1.2 m long, for a shelf frame. Total length = 30 × 1.2 = 36.0 m. Weight = 36.0 × 1.89 = 68.0 kg. At a market rate of ₹65,000 per tonne (May 2026), material cost is approximately ₹4,423 before cutting and fabrication.
