Kedla Aluminium Equal Angle 50.8 mm x 2 mm x 2.5 m: EX-R27 Profile, Maximum Strength 2-Inch Structural Support

Maximum Load Capacity with the 2-Inch Structural Angle

 

The Kedla Aluminium Equal Angle (Profile EX-R27) is the largest and most robust angle profile in the standard range, designed for maximum load-bearing capability, high rigidity, and large structural framing. Manufactured by Kedla and typically supplied through Castor & Ladder Supply, this angle features massive 50.8 mm legs (exactly 2 inches) and a heavy-duty 2.00 mm thickness (1/8 inch). This combination makes it the ultimate choice for challenging structural, industrial, and commercial fabrication projects.

Provided in a convenient 2.5-metre length, this angle minimizes wastage while remaining manageable for transport. Crafted from high-quality aluminium, it offers excellent natural corrosion resistance, guaranteeing its structural integrity will last for decades, even in fully exposed exterior and harsh environments. It is competitively priced and the premier solution when uncompromising strength is required.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. How much weight can this angle support?

   • The actual load capacity depends on the span and bracing, but the 50.8mm legs and 2.00 mm thickness make this the strongest general-purpose angle available, suitable for substantial static loads.

2. Is this profile easy to cut?

   • Due to its size, cutting requires heavy-duty tools. A chop saw with a non-ferrous metal blade is highly recommended for clean, straight cuts. Hand sawing is possible but very labour-intensive.

3. What fasteners should be used with this heavy-duty angle?

   • For structural joints, use high-strength fasteners such as stainless steel bolts and locknuts (ideally M8 or M10) through drilled holes. For non-structural anchoring, large diameter concrete or masonry screws can be used.
