6005A-T6 Aluminum Telescoping Rectangular Tubing
Telescoping tube is commonly used for extensions, adjustable legs, rails and more. Finding aluminum rectangular tube that telescopes is no easy task. Until now! We now have four sizes of 6005A-T6 aluminum rectangular tubes that will telescope within each other with minimal play. 6005A allows us to make custom shapes with tight tolerances and still have similar weld ability and structural strength of 6061. This particular alloy is commonly used in the automotive, industrial, electrical and equipment industries. It can also be used to produce standard and custom shapes extruded for solid or hollow designs.
Note: All sizes of telescoping tubing are sold separately unless indicated otherwise.

Advantages of 6005A-T6 Aluminum Telescoping Rectangular Tubing
6005A-T6 round telescoping aluminum tubing is a high-performance material designed for strength, durability, and precision in demanding applications. This alloy is in a T6 temper. It means that it’s heat-treated and artificially aged to enhance its mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
Compared to other popular alloys like 6061 and 6082, 6005A-T6 offers:
- Superior extrusion characteristics for clean, consistent profiles
- A smoother mill finish that reduces the need for secondary processing
- Improved corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor use
These advantages make a rectangular telescopic aluminum tube ideal for a wide range of structural support systems, including:
- Modular framing and adjustable assemblies
- Telescopic structures in commercial construction
- Rectangular tube components in transportation and automation systems
Its strength-to-weight ratio and formability make this tubing a smart choice for projects requiring aluminum tubing that’s both lightweight and strong.
Applications for Aluminum Telescoping Rectangular Tubing
Aluminum rectangular telescoping tubing is the ideal choice for industrial needs that require greater bending stiffness and strength than round tubes can provide. Its flat sides, structural integrity, and compatibility with adjustable telescopic systems make it a top performer across industries where durability and form fit are essential.
Rectangular aluminum tubing is frequently used to build modular frames, machinery enclosures, and equipment bases where rigidity, precision, and corrosion resistance are key. Its flat surfaces make mounting and joining more secure.
The telescoping function of rectangular tubing makes it ideal for extendable arms, sliding mechanisms, and support systems in industrial machinery. Paired with tubing locks and connectors, it allows for custom adjustability and easy assembly.
Thanks to its clean profile and structural strength, this aluminum tube is often used as protective housing for electrical components, pneumatic systems, or automated equipment, where accessibility and compact form are required.
