Gusset Plates

Steel gusset plates are strong connection plates used to join two or more steel members at a joint. They are common in steel trusses, bracing systems, frames, and tower structures. A gusset plate helps transfer forces safely through the connection, whether the joint is welded, bolted, or a combination of both. Wikipedia+2ScienceDirect+2

In Kenya, many contractors search for gusset plates Kenya, gusset plates Nairobi, and steel connection plates when building steel roofs, warehouse trusses, mezzanines, canopies, and braced frames. Because gussets are made from plate material, you will also see them described using local trade terms such as MS plate or mild steel plate, especially when buying cut-to-size pieces for fabrication.

Our steel gusset plates in Kenya are fabricated for clean fitting and reliable performance on site. They can be supplied as triangular, rectangular, or custom shapes to match your drawings. In addition, we support common hole patterns for bolted gusset plate connections, and we can also supply plain plates for welded gusset plate applications. This makes them ideal for truss gusset plates, bracing gusset plates, and general structural steelwork.

For outdoor or corrosive environments, a galvanized gusset plate option helps improve rust resistance. Meanwhile, for indoor structural work, mild steel gusset plates remain a cost-effective and widely used choice. Gusset plates are a simple component, but they are critical to strength and stability, so consistent plate quality and accurate cutting matter.

A steel gusset plate is a thick, flat piece of steel used to connect or reinforce joints in structures, providing strength and stability.
