Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners for heavy structural loads.Always utilize high-strength, grade-appropriate fasteners (e.g., Grade 5 or 8 bolts) or qualified welding procedures designed for the specific load and environmental conditions.
Improper surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or corrosion.Thoroughly clean the mounting surface to remove all dirt, grease, and debris. For welded applications, ensure proper beveling and joint preparation.
