Product Specifications
What’s the difference between Pre-Galvanized and Post-Galvanized?
Pre-galvanized products are galvanized prior to forming / shaping. Because the metal is in a flat form prior to shaping, the end-products generally offers a “cleaner” appearance. Post-galvanized products are hot dipped in a galvanized bath after the product is created, in order to protect it from exterior elements.
I am looking for a part size not listed. Is it possible you have it / can make it?
Yes, very possible. SteelFront lists the standard sizes we make most often, each with a posted price. Custom sizes are made by Wifco Steel Products, our parent company and manufacturer. Send us your dimensions and we will route the request to them promptly.
Are most of your products raw steel?
Most products contain a drop-down menu specifying whether or not the product is available as finished (galvanized) or not. We may be able to galvanize certain products not stated as such on this website, however. Products on this site are the most commonly created, although we are capable of galvanizing most items.
Do you offer any painted (other than galvanized) options?
Yes. For painting, please contact us. While we are capable of painting products a range of colors, we do not create them in bulk but do it every day for clients of all sizes.
Do you sell pre-assembled walkways, stairways and crossovers?
Yes, through Wifco Steel Products, our parent company and manufacturer. SteelFront sells the individual walkway and stairway parts. Assembled walkways, stairways and crossovers are built to each job by Wifco; contact us to get started and we will connect you.
Do you sell pre-assembled storage tanks / vessels?
Yes, through Wifco Steel Products, our parent company and manufacturer. Small storage tanks and vessels are built by Wifco and are not sold through this store. Contact us about inventory, pricing and shipping and we will connect you.
Shipping and Fulfillment
What countries do you ship to?
At the moment, SteelFront only ships to the United States, although we offer custom / bulk shipping to Canada as well. Please contact us for such an order.
Can I pick up my order instead of having it shipped?
Yes. Any product on SteelFront can be picked up free at our plant at 8003 Medora Road in Hutchinson, Kansas. Just choose local pickup at checkout.
How long does it take to fulfill, then ship, an order?
Unless specified on the product description, in-stock items have a fulfillment window of a few hours to 2 days. Most in-stock items will be processed immediately.
Certain items may be in-stock but require extra fulfillment time. Such information will be posted right on the product’s individual page right above the drop down boxes or Add to Cart button.
What is your cutoff before an order is shipped as freight?
70lbs. This number is approximately the same for most shipping services including ours, FedEx.
