UltraTube™: high-strength precision tubing

UltraTube™ High Strength Precision Tube

Industrial Tube Manufacturing is delighted to announce in November 2025 the introduction of UltraTube™, a new generation of high-strength precision tubing engineered for strength, reliability, and ease of fabrication.

Developed from the same OEM-grade dual-phase steels used in modern automotive safety cells and structures, UltraTube™ combines high yield strength (650 MPa +) with exceptional ductility and weldability. It’s strong where it counts, yet straightforward to work with – a practical step forward for fabricators looking for consistency and performance from locally made Precision Steel Tube.

Developed to give New Zealand and Australian fabricators access to the same advanced steels long used in global automotive manufacturing, UltraTube™ enables designers to reduce weight without sacrificing safety or reliability – and it’s made right here.

Stronger, Lighter, Easier to Work With

UltraTube™ is manufactured using cold-rolled dual-phase coil and precision HFI welding. Every length is dimensionally consistent, smooth, and fully traceable. It offers predictable bending behaviour and a high-quality surface finish – ideal for applications where repeatable accuracy and presentation matter.

With its blend of high strength, energy absorption, and fatigue resistance, UltraTube™ is suited to:

Commercial vehicle fit-outs
4WD and off-road accessories
Structural frames and engineered assemblies

Improved Fabrication

For fabricators accustomed to 4130 ‘Chromoly’, UltraTube™ provides a modern, weld-friendly alternative – no pre-heat or post-heat required and compatible with standard filler materials. Available in a range of circular profiles, with square, rectangle and oval manufactured on request.

Made Here. Supported Here.

UltraTube™ and UltraTube RS™ are manufactured in New Zealand to AS 1450 and EN 10305-3 dimensional standards, supplied with full mill certification and traceability. Backed by local technical support and fast delivery across Australasia, the range gives engineers and manufacturers the confidence to specify high-performance tube that meets today’s engineering priorities – lightweighting, safety, and efficiency – without the need to import or compromise.
