Nuts are fasteners with threaded holes and are designed to be used with bolts to secure objects together. In the waste industry nuts are paired with bolted connections to secure and hold objects together reliably. Nuts are adjustable and allow for easy disassembly of bolted connections. Nuts are easy to remove and replace making then a great solution for parts that require maintenance or replacement. There are certain types of nuts that act as a locking mechanism, such as lock nuts. Lock nuts are perfect for the waste industry as they remain tight during day to day use in high vibration environments. When nuts are paired with washers they can help minimize stress on materials and enhance the overall strength of the connections.
