Universal Beams or UB are ''I'' shaped series designed to carry high loads over long spans. The thick flanges and thinner web efficiently proportion material to resist the high bending loads from beam applications.

Universal columns, also known as UCs, are vertically oriented I-shaped sections that provide structural support. Universal beams, also known as UBs, are horizontally oriented I-shaped sections that provide stability and support for horizontal loads.

Universal beams are typically used as a building block in steel frameworks, ensuring complete structural integrity thanks to their ability to effectively support even the heaviest loads.
