Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners or inadequate mounting points, leading to structural failure under load.Always utilize fasteners and mounting hardware rated for the expected load and environmental conditions, ensuring they are properly secured according to engineering specifications.
Failing to account for the material's weight and shear forces in the overall system design.Conduct thorough structural analysis to determine the sheet's load-bearing capacity and integrate it into the design with sufficient support and reinforcement.

Common Applications

  • Electrical Enclosures and Cabinets
  • Heavy-Duty Lighting Support Structures
