For a structure that can take the strain, reach for this silver-tone aluminium strut profile from Bosch Rexroth. You can use it to build frames for assembly lines, flow racks and material handling enclosures. It features eight grooves, two on each of the four sides, so it's a versatile and hardworking option. As the grooves are 10mm in size, they're widely compatible with commonly used connectors.

• Aluminium material resists the abrasion and corrosion you'd expect in harsh environments
• 2m length can be simply cut to the precise size you need

• Assembly lines
• Office storage
• Warehouses
• Workshops

The appliance can be used with any other products in the MGE modular system that fit into a 10mm groove. These include cover strips, angle brackets and T-slot nuts.
