Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners that may not be compatible with aluminum, leading to galvanic corrosion.Utilize fasteners specifically designed for aluminum alloys or employ isolation materials such as washers or coatings to prevent dissimilar metal contact.
Exceeding the designed load capacity, risking structural failure.Always adhere to the calculated or specified load limits for the assembled pulling or lifting system. Conduct regular inspections and load testing.

Common Applications
