Hey guys,
I’m looking to make some modular shelving/ framing for my skid and I’m looking into T-slot anodized aluminium profiles.
I mainly want to make some shelving inside my van which can be adjusted as there are still many tools, reels, etc. I am looking to get.
Has anyone used this before and does anyone know if this is suitable even when it’s exposed to SH?
Thanks!
I’m currently using T-slot aluminum on my rig and it’s held up great through a full season so far. No issues with SH exposure. Aluminum itself handles chemicals just fine.
The bigger concern is rust/corrosion, not the SH. Make sure you match material types on your fittings, or use a sacrificial anode if it’s a bigger project and you don’t have the fittings to match.
A lot of my frame is built with T-slot for the ladder rack and load bearing side shelves and it’s been very solid from a load-bearing standpoint too. I did pre-treat everything with an aluminum polish/coating as a precaution. Hard to tell how much that has helped, but it hasn’t hurt.
