Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners that cannot support the load.Select fasteners with a shear and tensile strength rating appropriate for the expected stresses and the weight of the contents being packaged.
Ignoring potential galvanic corrosion when assembling with dissimilar metals.Employ insulating washers or coatings between the aluminum sheet and other metals, or use compatible fasteners to prevent corrosion.

Common Applications

  • Custom Shipping Crate Construction
