Who we are

Thirty years on the same side of the counter.

SS Traders has been buying and selling steel and iron in Karachi for over three decades. In that time the mills have changed, the rates have changed, and the market has changed hands more than once. What has not changed is how we quote: the grade you asked for, the weight you paid for, on the day we said.

We supply contractors putting up plazas, fabricators cutting shutters, roofing crews and furniture workshops. Some buy forty tons at a time. Some buy four sheets. Both get a straight answer on the phone.

  • Stock you can actually see We quote what is on the floor, not what we hope to arrange.
  • One rate, one weight The figure on the phone is the figure on the challan.
  • Answers, not runarounds If we cannot supply it, we say so the same day.

“My father sold steel by his word before he sold it by the ton. We still work that way. If the material is not right, it does not leave the godown.”

Steel weight calculator: know the tonnage first

Steel is sold by weight, not by piece. Put in the size and quantity and this tells you how many tons you are actually buying — then sends the exact specification to us on WhatsApp.

Sariya usually comes in 40 ft lengths.

Calculated at 7,850 kg/m³. Treat it as a close estimate — mill tolerance and coating add a little weight either way.

Why buyers stay with us

The boring things, done properly.

Nobody switches steel supplier because of a better website. They switch because the last one sent short weight, or went quiet when the rate moved. Here is what we hold ourselves to instead.

Grade as ordered

What is written on the challan is what is loaded on the truck. Check the tag before you unload — we expect you to.

Rates the same day

Send the size on WhatsApp in the morning and you will have a workable number back well before you need it.

Delivery arranged

Karachi same or next day where stock allows. Up-country dispatch to Lahore, Multan, Islamabad and beyond.

Range under one roof

Bars, sheets, coils, pipes and sections from one supplier — one call, one invoice, one delivery to chase.

Industries served

Industries we supply across Pakistan

Some of it goes into buildings. A lot of it goes into things you use at home without ever thinking about the sheet it was pressed from.

Construction & contractors

Deformed bar by the ton, binding wire, angles and plates — from a single slab pour to a full high-rise schedule.

Fabrication & welding shops

Flats, angles, channels, pipe and plate cut to the sizes your shop actually works with, not the sizes a mill ships in.

Home appliance makers

CR coil and GI sheet for fans, geysers, ovens, coolers, washing machines and cabinet work — consistent gauge, batch after batch.

Roofing, sheds & godowns

GI corrugated and plain sheet, purlins and hollow section for warehouse roofs, canopies and factory sheds.

Auto & workshop trade

MS sheet, round bar and pipe for body work, trailers, loading bodies, racking and general repair jobs.

Factories & engineering

Plate, shafting, channel and beam for machine bases, mezzanines, structures and plant maintenance stock.

Furniture & interiors

Square tube, hollow section and chequered plate for railings, shopfronts, shelving and fitted furniture.

Hardware & up-country dealers

Mixed loads made up from one floor so a dealer in Sukkur or Multan is not chasing four suppliers for one truck.

Applications

What the steel ends up doing

The same coil that becomes a roof becomes a washing machine drum somewhere else. These are the jobs our material goes into most often, and what each one takes.

Growing fast

Solar mounting

Rooftop and ground-mount PV structures across Sindh and Punjab. The frame outlives the panels, so the galvanising is the decision that matters.

Z purlin · cable tray

Industrial & plant

Machine bases, mezzanines, walkways, plant maintenance stock and heavy fabrication where the section has to carry real load.

Plate · chequered plate · purlin

Auto manufacturing

Body panels, loading bodies, trailers, racking and workshop repair work — sheet that presses cleanly and pipe that bends without splitting.

CR sheet · HR coil · pipe · round bar

Home appliances

Fans, geysers, ovens, coolers, washing machines and cabinet work. Consistent gauge batch after batch, because a press line cannot absorb variation.

CR coil · GI sheet · slit widths

On the floor

Steel, as it actually turns up

Bundles, coils, sections and a truck waiting outside. This is the shape the trade takes before it becomes a building, a roof or a washing machine.

Questions

Things buyers ask us first

Sariya rates move daily with the mill and the dollar, so we do not publish a figure that would be stale by the afternoon. WhatsApp the size and tonnage to 0334 8398777 and you will have today’s rate the same day, with the grade confirmed.

SS Traders has traded steel and iron from Karachi since 1995. We hold sariya, MS plate and sheet, HR and CR coil, GI plain and corrugated sheet, pipe, purlin, cable tray and colour coated coil, and deliver across Pakistan.

It depends on the diameter. One ton is roughly 133 bars of 10 mm, 92 of 12 mm, 52 of 16 mm, 33 of 20 mm and 21 of 25 mm, at 40 ft lengths. The steel weight calculator works out any size.

MS deformed bars, plates and sheets, hot and cold rolled coil, galvanised plain and corrugated sheets, MS round and square pipes, hollow sections, angles, channels, I-beams, flat bars, round bars, binding wire and galvanised solar mounting sections. If it is a common steel or iron line in Pakistan, we either stock it or can arrange it.

Send the size, grade and tonnage on WhatsApp at 0334 8398777, or call 021-32778544. Steel rates move with the mill price, the dollar and freight, so we confirm the number on the day against your exact specification rather than publishing a figure that goes stale by the afternoon.

Yes. We dispatch to Lahore, Faisalabad, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Multan, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Quetta and Peshawar among others. Freight is quoted separately because it depends on destination, tonnage and whether the load fills a truck.

It depends on the item. Coil and plate normally move in full-ton lots. Bars, pipes, angles and sheets can go out in smaller quantities. Tell us what you need and we will say plainly whether it is workable.

Sheets and plates can be cut, and coil can be slit to width, subject to the size and the quantity. Cutting charges are quoted with the material so there is no surprise on the bill.

New buyers usually work on advance or against delivery. Regular account holders are handled case by case — speak to Ali Hayat about terms once you have a few orders behind you.

Send us the size. We’ll send back the rate.

No forms to chase, no callback queue. Message on WhatsApp and you will be talking to someone who can quote.
