Our Facilities

Island Steel UK Ltd is able to supply steel in coil and sheet form to most specifications. As a major importer of steel into the UK we are able to provide not only competitive pricing and availability but often, we can cater for customers requiring more unusually specified materials.

In addition to supply of materials, a hire processing service is offered to our customers. Materials may be held and processed for customers as required and our close ties with local, national and international haulage businesses mean we can provide transport for materials throughout the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

Our facilities at Island Steel UK Ltd include a 52 tonne rated, ministry approved and calibrated public weighbridge at the dockside.

Within the factory we have two weighing platforms calibrated up to 30 tonnes with linked print systems to assist in more accurate stock control.

For ease of loading, in addition to the overhead gantry cranes, five fork lift trucks and a JCB telescopic handler are also available with a lifting capacity of up to 12 tonnes.
