GF-N F35 profile: Ø 28 mm tube with 35 mm flat flange
The GF-N Ø 28 mm tube with a 35 mm flat flange: it carries labels, small-parts holders and signs, and acts as a support for trays and boxes. It is stiffer than the standard tube: over a 1000 mm span it takes over 500 N at mid-span with 5 mm of deflection. It is assembled with 28 series internal and external connectors.
Why choose it
Integrated label holder
Tags and small-parts holders are fixed on the flange: every location has its name.
Tray support
The flange supports trays and boxes, and you adjust the height by moving the tube on the uprights.
More than twice the load capacity
Over a 1000 mm span it takes 507–566 N at mid-span, against 195 N for the standard tube.
28 series connectors
Accepts GF-N internal and external connectors.
Choose it if…
- You want a cross member that carries labels or small-parts holders.
- You need a height-adjustable support for trays or boxes.
- You want more load capacity than the standard tube without changing connectors.
Choose another solution if…
- You need a wider flange for signs and containers: GF-N F50 profile →
- You need the same function on a light Ø 19 tube: GF-S F35 profile →
- You want to fix accessories with screws anywhere: GF-N profile with C10 slot →

Application example
The F35 is used as a cross member that carries or supports something:
- Trolley and shelving rails: the flange supports trays and boxes
- Front cross members with tags and small-parts holders
- Assembly workstations: height-adjustable supports
What you assemble it with
Before ordering, we check with you which way the flange should face relative to the joints.
Flange horizontal or vertical
The load capacity changes little, the use does:
Flange horizontal
Over 1000 mm it takes 507 N at mid-span with 5 mm of deflection: this is the orientation for supporting trays and boxes.
Flange vertical
Over 1000 mm it takes 566 N at mid-span: the flange becomes a front strip for labels.
Joints
With high loads the connector matters too: GF-N 90° connectors hold 800 N against slipping.
For complete shelves and levels, we calculate the load capacity, taking account of cross members, joints and feet.
The LeanProducts service
From drawing to finished structure, with a single point of contact:
Design and load calculation
We start from your sketch or dimensions: we choose profiles and connectors and check spans, joints and loads.
Cut to length
We cut the profiles in our workshop to the lengths in the design, ready to assemble.
Kit or assembled structure
You receive the kit with the cut parts and the list of components, or the structure already assembled.
Spare parts and modifications
When the process changes we supply components and new cuts to modify or extend the structure.
Send us a sketch, a photo or the overall dimensions: we will reply with codes, quantities and cut lengths.

Two things: it carries labels, tags and small-parts holders, and it acts as a support for trays and boxes. By moving the tube on the uprights you adjust the height of the support.
Over a 1000 mm span, with the load at mid-span and 5 mm of deflection, it takes 507 N with the flange horizontal and 566 N with the flange vertical: more than twice the standard tube, which takes 195 N.
The F35 has the narrower flange, is slightly stiffer and is also used as a support; the F50 has the wider flange, handy for signs and large small-parts holders. Tube and connectors are the same.
Both internal and external GF-N series connectors. When you order, tell us which way the flange should face: we will prepare cuts and joint positions accordingly.
Yes, it is one of the typical uses: the F35 flange supports the tray and you adjust its height by moving the tube on the uprights.
Yes, the GF-S F35 profile has a similar flange on a Ø 19 mm tube and weighs 0.40 kg/m: it suits light structures and small workstations.
The standard GF-N profile is suitable for most uprights and cross members. If a cross member is long or loaded use the GF-N W mounted on edge (about 10 times stiffer), or the T (about 1.5 times) or the Hard (about 1.7 times, also for joints that take impacts), which have the same diameter. To fix plate castors, panels or rollers with T-nuts choose the profile with C10 slot; F35 and F50 have a flat flange for labels, small parts holders and supports. The sliding profile has a smooth surface for sliding parts and boxes, the round roller profile becomes a roller with the pin connectors, LS and LS with S slot carry a linear slide and the linear guide profile is the track for the linear rollers.
The GF-N Ø 28 is the standard for workstations, flow racks and trolleys. The GF-S Ø 19 weighs about half as much (0.20 kg/m versus 0.37) and is for light frames, dividers, guards and small mechanisms. The GF-G Ø 43 is for uprights and cross members that have to carry a lot: over a 1000 mm span it supports 851 N at the centre versus 195 N for the GF-N, for the same deflection. It is often worth mixing them, for example GF-G uprights and GF-N cross members joined by mixed connectors.
