Steel and Aluminum H-Beams and I-Beams

Beams come in 2 basic shapes and many sizes. 

I or standard beams resemble a capital “I” and are tapered on the inside, designed primarily to hang weight below the beam, for example to run a trolley on.

H or wide flange beams resemble a capital “H” on its side and are square on the inside, designed primarily for supporting weight from above the beam, for example supporting the upper floors of a house or other structure.
