Manufactured to comply with British Standards.
When your production schedule depends on compliant, consistently supplied steel, it’s essential you choose the right supplier as much as choosing the right section.
All NWMS steel sections for HGV trailer and rigid truck manufacture conform to the relevant British Standards. This includes BS EN 10210 for hot-finished structural hollow sections and BS EN 10219 for cold-formed sections, covering material properties, dimensional tolerances, and mechanical performance.
But compliance doesn't stop at the product. At NW Metal Sections, we hold EN1090 execution certification, ISO 9001:2015 quality management accreditation, BBA certification, and carry the UKCA marking. This gives you a documented guarantee that every order meets the standards your build requires.
What does this mean? Fewer supplier queries, faster sign-off, and the confidence that your steel supply won't hold up your haulage production line.

Which steel sections do we supply at NWMS?
At NW Metal Sections, we supply three main types of steel sections for HGVs. They are:
1. Chassis & Frame Components
- C-Sections / U-Channels – Provide structural support and reinforcement for cross-members.
- Box Sections (Rectangular & Square Hollow Sections – RHS/SHS) – Used for subframes and support structures, offering durability and torsional strength.
2. Sidewalls & Body Structure
- Z-Sections – Commonly used in trailer sidewalls for added rigidity with minimal weight.
- Angle Sections (L-Angles) – Reinforce corners and edges to improve structural integrity.
3. Floor & Roof Supports
- Flat Bars / Strip Steel – Used for flooring support and load distribution.
- Hat Sections / Top Hat Profiles – Provide lightweight yet strong reinforcement, often used in trailer roofs and flooring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which specific standards (e.g. BS EN 10210, BS EN 10219) do your products conform to?
The steel sections we forge for road haulage applications conform to BS EN 10210 for hot-finished structural hollow sections and BS EN 10219 for cold-formed sections. Both standards govern material properties, dimensional tolerances, and mechanical performance.
NWMS also holds EN1090 execution certification, ISO 9001:2015 quality management accreditation, BBA certification, and carries the UKCA marking.
Which sections do you recommend for trailer chassis and cross-member construction?
For trailer chassis and cross-member applications, we typically recommend C-Sections and U-Channels for structural reinforcement, and Rectangular or Square Hollow Sections (RHS/SHS) for subframes where torsional strength is a priority.
The right choice will depend on your load requirements, weight targets, and build specification.
