    Default Unistrut mounting

    Unistrut mounting-p_00082.jpg
    Does anyone know what this hardware is called or where I can find it? It looks like a unistrut channel with tabs attached that are spaced to fit a 25g rohn tower. The tabs are not welded or bolted but looks like they were fabricated with the channel. I've e-mail this picture to several industrial suppliers in the city with no luck.

    It looks like Channel Steel that has been punched with maybe a home grown mounting bracket. Have you givein them the Dimensions Height X Depth X Thickness? With the shear amount of refineries in Corpus you should be able to find a scaffolding supply company that can point you in the right direction.

    Well, that's not *actually* unistrut, so expanding your search beyond that could help. NO idea what that's called.
    One must first know and understand the rules of theatre before one can break them.

    Looks like a perforated U Channel with a flange. probably a custom order. you would probably find the stock U Channel at a local metal fabrication company or supplier, or you could probably call a company like the one listed for special order items like the one you pictured... I've copied a company i found online. I don't know them or anything... U-Channel, J-Channel & Metal Channel :: Johnson Brothers :: Metal Forming Co. Pete

    That's a bracket for hanging transmission line (coaxial cable) on a communications tower. It has no other application. The holes fit snap-in clips for standard sizes of line.
