What happens here

Kevin explains the heavy-duty construction of the fan's components, noting that parts like the hub and brackets are laser-cut from steel, painted, and welded in their factory. To simplify the overhead installation process, he pre-assembles the upper and lower 'ears' of the I-beam bracket on the ground. This involves attaching bolts and nuts to the bracket plates.

Goal: Assemble parts of the mounting bracket on the ground to ease overhead installation.
