Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-torquing fasteners, leading to deformation or cracking of the aluminum.Utilize a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque values for the specific fasteners and sheet thickness.
Using incompatible fasteners that can cause galvanic corrosion.Employ fasteners made of stainless steel (e.g., 300 series) or materials specifically rated for use with aluminum alloys.

Common Applications

  • Custom rigging and hoist components
  • Structural elements for winches and cranes
  • Specialized lifting frames and fixtures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always consult relevant engineering drawings and load charts before deployment.
  • Ensure all connections and mounting hardware are rated for the expected load capacity.
