This design would be used to seperate steel coils to allow for the fork lift tines to pick up. A competitors claim is 100,000 lbs and I feel that number is inflated. Thank you

Here's your formula:

Materials - Be aware that a wide variation of compressive strength is possible between specific grades of material
