Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners not rated for the intended load.Employ high-strength, corrosion-resistant fasteners (e.g., stainless steel) with appropriate load ratings and thread engagement.
Inadequate surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or stress points.Thoroughly clean and deburr all edges and surfaces that will be in contact with other components or fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Custom lifting fixtures
  • Structural components for hoists
  • Reinforced crane attachments

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exceeding the material's rated tensile and shear strength.
  • Ensure proper grounding if used in proximity to electrical systems.
