Standard Ribbon Steel Strapping Setup

One of our most popular setups of all time is our standard steel strapping setup. This setup is a 2 piece tool setup requiring a tensioner to tension the steel strapping and a sealer to crimp the seal to the steel strapping. Its one of the cheapest strapping setups available for its strength.

Applications

The applications for this type of setup are many, they include, timber packs, wall frames and truss, palletising goods, lighter loads of steel.

Break Load and system strength

The steel strapping has a break load of 798 kg, when the seal (crimp) is applied. The system strength of the setup is approximately 558kg as you lose approximately 30% of the strength at the seal.

Advantages

• Cheap tools
• Simple to use
• Steel lays perfectly flat, easy to pass under pallets or goods.
• High strength 798 kg break load steel
• Highly reliable seal joint

It’s a great setup for low volume users with a single station or high volume users that require multiple stations setup throughout their yard or warehouse. Its also an ideal setup for onsite teams packaging up pallet racking or scaffolding as the thin roll can easily fit behind a truck seat or in a storage compartment.

Limitations

• Requires flat or straight surface to mount the tensioner.
• PET(Polyester) price per Meter is somewhat cheaper.
• Slow speed compared to Seal-less or battery tool, but still one of the fastest manual setups to apply per strap.
