Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners for structural applications.Always select fasteners with appropriate shear and tensile strength ratings that exceed the anticipated load requirements of the installation.
Inadequate surface preparation leading to premature corrosion.Thoroughly clean and degrease the steel surface before installation, and consider applying a protective coating or primer if the environment is prone to moisture or corrosive elements.

Common Applications

  • Custom fabrication of material handling equipment
  • Structural components for industrial shelving and racking
