HEM steel beams for maximum load
MelnaisMetals.LV supplies a specialized range of HEM beams, designed for the most demanding structural applications where maximum strength and stability are required. Widely used across Latvia, the Baltics, and Scandinavia, our HEM beams meet strict European quality and safety standards, making them ideal for high-load, long-span, and safety-critical constructions.
HEM beam assortment:
We offer hot-rolled HEM beams in a wide array of sizes and cross-sections, with standard lengths of L-6050mm and L-12100mm, as well as custom cuts on request. These beams are produced in accordance with EN 10025 standards and are available in steel grades such as S235 and S355. HEM beams feature the heaviest and thickest profiles within the H-beam family, with wide flanges and a reinforced web for enhanced load capacity.
HEM beam application:
Our HEM beams are designed for large-scale construction and industrial projects, including:
- Heavy-duty columns and main support structures;
- High-load crane tracks and industrial platforms;
- Structural frameworks in high-rise and large-span buildings;
- Foundations for equipment and machinery with extreme loads;
- Tunnel and bridge support systems.
Due to their robust geometry and strength, HEM beams are ideal in situations where structural integrity and resistance to high loads are critical. Their use reduces the need for additional reinforcement, simplifying design and construction processes.

Frequently asked questions about HEM beams
How are HEM beams different from HEB and HEA beams?
HEM beams are the most massive and durable in the H-beam family.
- HEA - lighter profile with thinner flange ends
- HEB - heavier and more durable than HEA
- HEM - the thickest flanges, maximum load capacity and rigidity
They are chosen for structures with the highest loads.
Accorting to what standard are HEM beams manufactured?
HEM Beams are manufactured according to the EN 10025 standard, which specifies the quality and mechanical properties of steel.
What steel grades are available?
Steel grades S235 and S355 are available. S355 provides higher strength and is suitable for structures with higher loads.
What lengths are available?
Standard lengths are L‑6050 mm and L‑12100 mm, but we also provide cutting to individual lengths.
Are HEM beams suitable for welding?
Yes, HEM beams are easy to weld and machine due to the uniform material thickness.
In which projects is the HEM profile most often used?
HEM profiles are popular in high-rise buildings, industrial platforms, crane rails, tunnels, bridges and heavy machinery foundations.
Do you offer delivery and metalworking?
Yes, we provide cutting, surface treatment, and fast delivery throughout Latvia.
