Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or inappropriate fasteners.Always utilize fasteners rated for the load requirements of the material handling application and compatible with aluminum to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to material deformation.Employ a torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque values for aluminum to avoid stress concentration and potential cracking or warping of the sheet.

Common Applications

  • Custom shelving and racking systems
  • Durable work surfaces and platforms
  • Fabrication of specialized material handling equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves when handling and fabricating aluminum.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting, grinding, or welding aluminum to avoid inhalation of airborne particles.
