Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners or inadequate welding techniques.Employ fasteners and welding procedures rated for the tensile strength and shear forces expected in the application, consulting engineering drawings as necessary.
Failing to account for potential thermal expansion or contraction during fabrication or in operation.Incorporate expansion joints or allow for appropriate clearances in designs where significant temperature variations are anticipated.

Common Applications

  • Heavy-duty shipping container reinforcement
  • Custom fabricated protective enclosures
  • Industrial pallet and skid bases
