Testing and Quality Control
Goldline International manufactures all our equipment and products at our location in Pasadena, Texas. We’re proud to have all our products made in the USA.
Our patented, modular “Fast-Erect” bolt-together Loading Rack System was designed to provide a safe, fast system for field erection that allows the customer to easily control field erection time and cost. The “Fast-Erect” System allows a customer to estimate the assembly cost and schedule more accurately for quicker and less expensive installations.
All our products are bolted together and tested for fit, finish, and functionality before shipping to the customer site.

Please note:
These time-independent maps are shown for 2-percent and 10-percent probability of exceedance in 50 years for peak horizontal ground acceleration as well as 5-hertz and 1-hertz spectral accelerations with 5-percent damping on a uniform firm rock site condition (760 meters per second shear wave velocity in the upper 30 m, VS30).
In this report, the 2014 updated maps are compared with the 2008 version of the maps and indicate changes of plus or minus 20 percent over wide areas, with larger changes locally, caused by the modifications to the seismic source and ground motion inputs.

Corrosion Protection Standards
Black Iron or Hot Dipped Galvanized?
When working in harsh environments the quality of corrosion protection is an important part of the decision making and product design process.
Many competitors offer their products in black iron, aluminum, or other materials, each with their own corrosive properties.
At Goldline we offer our products in either black iron or hot dipped galvanized options—with a preference for galvanized corrosion protection!
Hot dipped galvanizing provides year, or decades, of corrosion protection before your first maintenance event. Whether in years or decades, time is measured by the thickness of the zinc coating in the clean galvanizing process.
The chart on this page shows 5.0 galvanizing zinc coating thickness can produce up to 98 years of very low finish maintenance.”
Goldline highly recommends hot-dipped galvanized!
ASTM A123/A 123/M: Standard specificaiton for zinc (hot-dip galvanized) coatings on iron and steel structures
NOTE: Galvanizing is affected by caustic and acidic environments not taken into account on this chart.
