Common uses

Cross plates are welded on as four-way joint plates where rails cross in a frame or grid, used as feet and base plates for posts and sign stands (one arm per direction), as bracing and splice plates, and for decorative and memorial work.

Choose your material

• Mild steel: the economical choice. Paint, prime or galvanise it for outdoor use.
• 304 stainless: the everyday stainless grade for indoor and sheltered outdoor use.
• 316 stainless: best near the coast, pools, salt or chemicals. 304 vs 316 explained.

Questions

How wide are the arms?
About a third of the overall size. For example, the 200 mm cross has 65 mm wide arms.

How much does a 200 mm cross weigh?
About 0.51 kg in 3 mm mild steel.

Are these laser cut?
No. They are plasma cut and deburred, so edges show a plasma-cut finish and are not held to laser-cut tolerances. For tight-tolerance parts, send us a drawing.
