    What Is a Shear Tab

    A shear tab is a steel plate welded onto structural supports, then bolted to beam ends. Its primary function is to carry vertical shear loads, while permitting acceptable structural movement within beam connections.

    Thanks to its simple setup, reliable performance and cost‑saving benefits, shear tabs are a very common beam‑connecting solution for steel‑frame buildings.

    Key Features

    ASTM A36 Steel
    Offers well‑balanced strength and good weldability, perfectly suited for general structural steel work.

    Precision‑Machined Bolt Holes
    Hole sizes, spacing and edge margins are produced to align with your approved connection shop drawings.

    Custom‑Built Fabrication
    We tailor width, length, plate thickness, hole layouts and overall geometry per project requirements.

    Tight Dimensional Tolerances
    Strict dimension control helps guarantee smooth on‑site fitting during installation.

    Project‑Ready Components
    All parts are shop‑finished, ready for steel fabricators and contractors for immediate structural project assembly.

    AISC‑Compliant Manufacturing
    Fabricated in line with applicable AISC specifications for steel connection detailing.

    Application

    1. Beam‑to‑Column Connections
    Shear tabs are a go‑to connection solution to fasten structural beams onto steel columns, widely adopted across commercial and industrial building projects.

    2. Beam‑to‑Beam Connections
    Well‑suited for creating simple shear joints linking secondary and tertiary beams.

    3. Warehouse & Industrial Facilities
    Commonly deployed for steel warehouses, manufacturing plants and workshops, as well as other steel‑framed structures.

    4. Commercial Building Projects
    Widely utilized within office complexes, shopping centers and multi‑story steel construction builds.

    5. Mezzanines & Equipment Platforms
    These plates work great for secondary beam joints on mezzanine floors, equipment support frames and industrial access platforms.

    6. Structural Steel Fabrication Work
    Ideal for steel fabricators who require pre‑cut, pre‑drilled connection plates for both in‑shop pre‑assembly and on‑site erection.

    FAQ

    Q1: What material are your shear tabs made from?

    A: We primarily fabricate our shear tabs using ASTM A36 steel plate, the most widely used grade for general structural connections. We also accommodate alternative structural steel grades to fit custom project specifications.

    Q2: Can you manufacture shear tabs according to custom drawings?

    A: Absolutely. We fully custom-build shear tabs based on client-approved shop drawings, covering all custom plate sizes and bespoke bolt hole layouts to match your connection design.

    Q3: Can bolt holes be modified and customized?

    A: Yes, all bolt hole details are fully customizable. We adjust hole diameters, hole counts, spacing and positioning to align precisely with your structural connection requirements.

    Q4: Are these shear tabs applicable for beam-to-column connections?

    A: Definitely. Our shear tabs are a mainstream solution for standard simple shear beam-to-column joints, as well as other common structural shear connection applications in steel construction.

    Q5: Can you provide official material certification?

    A: Yes. We provide official Mill Test Certificates (MTC) for all products. Third-party inspection services can also be arranged on request to meet project audit and compliance needs.

    Q6: Do you accept small quantity orders?

    A: We support flexible order volumes for all client needs. Whether you need small batch stock orders or large-scale project quantities, we can accommodate production based on your actual demands.
