Over this division, we offer prefabricated steel joists, these elements area ideal to reduce time for your job, since time = money, you'll be saving money while using our joists.

Please find below the nomenclature, type and suggested use for the OPM steel joists you might be considering for your construction and/or your next project.

We just follow their outlines and regulations because we recognize their leadership.

Nomenclature

Suggested application

J12L240R1  12 inches depth and 20 fts. length for roofing loads.
J12L240R2  12 inches depth and 20 fts. length for mezzanine loads.
J24L312R1  24 inches depth and 26 fts. length for roofing loads.
J24L312R2  24 inches depth and 26 fts. length for mezzanine loads.
J24L396R1  24 inches depth and 33 fts. length for roofing loads.
J32L396R2  32 inches depth and 33 fts. length for mezzanine loads.
J24L480R1  24 inches depth and 40 fts. length for roofing loads.
J32L480R2  32 inches depth and 40 fts. length for mezzanine loads.

With the above nomenclature, you may request a quote for the joist that fits your needs, example : if you need a 46' joist you just have to specify the height in inches and the type of construction you need, i.e., if there's a depth restriction of 24" and the joist is being used for roofing then the code of such joist would be J24L552R1, on the other hand, if the depth restriction is 31.5" and the joist will be used to take floor loads, the code for that joist would be J31L552R2 or J32L552R2 whatever is the most convenient for your needs.

Check the comparative tables to make sure that your loading requirements are within the standard limits for each of the construction type we handle, for example : if the joist you need a J32L552R2 (32" depth 46' long constructed to take floor loads), and the load you need the joist to take is 154 PSF, note that R2's loading limits vary from 108 to 129 PSF, therefore, you must specify your requirement this way : a joist J32L552R2 to take 154 PSF.

That joist load limits don't mean the joist cannot take more or less loads, that load range is shown as a guide and example on how to decide the joist dimensioning and ordering  code only. All steel joist is designed specifically for the required application.
