Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best strapping material?
When selecting the strapping material best for your needs, consider the type of items you are securing, the level of strength required, and your budget constraints. Steel strapping is highly recommended for heavy-duty requirements due to its exceptional strength and durability. It is ideal for securing heavy loads such as metal parts and building materials or heavy pallets before shipping.
For lighter, more cost-effective options, plastic strapping is suitable. It offers good tension and is easier to handle, making it perfect for lighter applications such as bundling cardboard boxes and securing light industrial goods. Polyester strapping, or PET strapping, combines the strength of steel with the flexibility of plastic, providing an excellent solution for securing pallet loads and other medium to heavy items. It is especially useful in industries where high tension and load securing capability are necessary.
How do I attach metal strapping?
Attaching metal strapping efficiently requires the right tools and techniques to ensure load security and safety. Start by measuring and cutting the metal strapping to fit your package or pallet. Loop the strapping around the item, ensuring it is snug but not overly tight.
Use a strapping tool to tension the strapping appropriately. This tool can be a manual, pneumatic, or battery-operated device depending on your specific needs and the volume of items you are securing. Once tensioned, secure the strapping using seals or buckles, which can be applied using a sealer tool or a combination tool that both tensions and seals.
For enhanced security, consider using a strapping machine, especially for high-volume applications. These machines automate the strapping process, ensuring consistent tension and sealing, which is crucial for maintaining load stability during transport.
