Valley Forge & Bolt, in association with Maintenance Reliability Solutions Inc., exhibited our patented load indicating fastening systems for the second year. The Maxbolt™, SPC4™, and Ball Lock™ designs were big hits with everyone from engineers, to maintenance, and safety groups. Since last years’ formal introduction of load indicating technology to the industry, we were able to share details and data from numerous installation successes over the past year.
We look forward to presenting a technical presentation on Bolting at the AIST Maintenance & Reliability Conference in Scottsdale, AZ on November 6-9th.
