Steel Beams Pinkenba
For Steel Beams Pinkenba, talk to Ace Posts and Beams. A lot of the steel we send to Pinkenba replaces steel that bay air or a forklift has already damaged. That could be a canopy beam rusting at its base, a dock lintel that took a hit, or a platform member that failed an inspection. We cut the replacement to size and galvanise it so it lasts longer than the last one. It comes from our branch in the next suburb along Kingsford-Smith Drive.

Made to Measure
Steel Beams Pinkenba, matched to the member coming out
Replacing a member in an existing structure is different from building new. The new piece has to match the old section and bearing length, and its hole pattern has to line up with cleats that are already in place. Send us your engineer's replacement detail, or the existing drawings plus any site measurements, and we cut to that. Anything outside our stock range, we supply made-to-measure.
The aim is a short install. Drilling happens here, not on a live dock, so the crew can unbolt, swap and bolt up during a quiet shift. It means less hot work beside stock and vehicles and less time with a bay taped off. When the damage covers several members, we can cut the whole set in one run.
Why Builders Choose Us
Steel Beams Pinkenba sites can get quickly, from next door
On a working site, the steel is rarely the expensive part. The cost is the closed bay, the idle crew and the inspection that can't be signed off. Our branch is one suburb away, on the same Kingsford-Smith Drive corridor Pinkenba trucks already use, so the steel doesn't have to cross the city to reach you.
Finishes to Suit the Job
Raw steel, prime painted, hot-dipped galvanised and pre-drilled. Pinkenba faces Moreton Bay, so exposed steel normally goes galvanised. The coating also protects edges and scratches that paint alone would leave open to rust.
Fast 3-Day Supply
Three days from order is typical. If a member is damaged and the area is closed, call with the section and length. We'll tell you straight away what's on the rack.
Made-to-Measure
Cut to your engineer's replacement detail and pre-drilled to match the connections already in the structure. The new member bolts into place instead of being cut to fit on site.
Expert Advice
We'll talk through finishes for bay exposure and ground-level base plates. Whether a damaged member can stay, and what replaces it, is for your engineer to decide. We supply to their call.
Keen Local Pricing
We specialise in trade steel and we're close enough to collect from. For a short-notice job, that can remove the delivery leg from the price altogether.
What We Supply
Steel Beams Pinkenba and industrial steel lines
For maintenance, repairs and small works on Pinkenba's industrial sites, our stock lines and options span:
- PFC (parallel flange channel)
- Universal beams (UB)
- Raw steel
- Prime painted
- Hot-dipped galvanised
- Pre-drilled
- Stock sizes
- Made-to-measure
Typical Pinkenba orders include replacement canopy and awning beams, and lintels over roller doors and dock openings. We also supply support steel for plant and pipe racks and beams for warehouse storage platforms. Steel posts, base plates, bracing and deformed bar can go on the same order, so a footing repair and the post that sits on it arrive together.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does your team supply in Pinkenba?
Mostly industrial and commercial steel for the port-side, logistics and airport-precinct sites between the river and the airport. That's replacement and new beams for canopies, docks, platforms and mezzanines, in stock sizes and made-to-measure lengths. We also supply the small residential pocket around Myrtletown with beams and galvanised posts for carports and patios.
Can you provide made-to-measure steel beams?
Yes. For a replacement, send your engineer's detail, or the existing drawings plus a measured length and hole layout from site. We cut and drill to suit the connections that are staying, so the new member goes in without cutting on site.
What types of steel beams do you stock?
Parallel flange channels and universal beams across the range that commercial and light-industrial work calls for. Ring with the section before you drive over and we'll confirm it's on the rack.
What finishes or preparation options are available?
Raw steel, prime painted, hot-dipped galvanised, and pre-drilling. Outdoors in Pinkenba, galvanised is the usual choice. Salt air off the bay and knocks from yard equipment wear through paint quickly. Prime paint suits beams inside a dry warehouse that will be top-coated. If your site specification names a coating system, we'll quote to it.
How quickly can I get my steel beams after ordering?
Three days from order is typical. A plain cut from stock can be quicker. A galvanised, drilled replacement takes longer because the coating is a separate process. If the area is closed until the member is replaced, tell us when you call.
Do you offer delivery as well as pickup?
Both. From Pinkenba, pickup at Eagle Farm is often the fastest option. We're open 6:30 am to 3:00 pm on weekdays, which suits crews who want the steel collected before the day's work starts. For long sections, bring a vehicle that can legally carry the length, or ask us to deliver to the gate and tell us about any site induction requirements.

About Pinkenba
Pinkenba is a long, narrow suburb on the northern bank of the Brisbane River, about 10 km from the CBD, facing Moreton Bay with Brisbane Airport to the west. Its name comes from the Turrubal word binkinba, a good hunting place for land tortoise. It includes Meeandah, Myrtletown and Bulwer Island, which was joined to the mainland by reclamation. Industry followed the port and the airport, and the 2021 census counted only 350 residents. For steel, that means mostly working sites on low, reclaimed ground in salty air. That's why so much of what goes there leaves our yard galvanised.
