Quality Steel Strapping
Steel strapping continues to be the oldest and one of the most widely used strapping solutions in a wide range of industries. Steel is among the strongest solution to address a wide range of strapping needs, including those in heavy industries, rail cargo and construction. One of the main reasons is because the metal holds the highest tensile strength among all strapping materials. This helps increase the number tasks it can be used for.
Minimum Stretching
Another reason for the widespread application of this strapping is that steel has one of the most minimal stretching of most strapping materials. This makes it the perfect option for tasks where materials and loads have to be held firmly without any stretching. The most powerful tensioners are used for strapping steel bands and the material has the highest tension efficiency.
Popular Steel Strapping Tools
The high versatility of steel strapping means that a wide range of tools are available for strapping it. Some of the most powerful strapping tools are made to handle steel bands.
- Battery-powered Steel Strap Tools – Most of the battery tools for steel straps are designed for easy operation. They are lightweight and durable, and can be used with single-button or dual-button operation. They are specifically designed to enhance productivity even in the most heavy-duty applications.
- Manual Hand Tools for Steel Straps – Simple in design, hand tools use basic techniques to tighten the strapping around coils or bundles. Usually, separate tensioner, manual sealers and cutter are used for completing the strapping tasks. Despite their basic operation, these tools don’t compromise in terms of tensioning efficiency.
Types of Steel Straps
There are different types of Steel strapping, designed to address different strapping needs in almost all types of industries:
Regular Duty Steel Straps
Regular-duty steel straps are made to meet close tolerances and rigid quality specifications. They are designed for most general applications. All types of steel straps typically require accessories like seals to complete the applications. You can find regular-duty straps in different sub-types based on:
- Strapping finishes
- Gauges
- Widths
High tensile steel straps are made to achieve optimal results in most types of applications. It makes use of shock resistance and high strength for a wide range of applications. You can use it to:
- Secure heavy steel coils
- Unitize compressed bales
- Secure open top car and trailer loads
The strapping is made of cold rolled steel having high levels of carbon and manganese. Heat treatment helps ensure two very important characteristics – uniform elongation and tensile strength. Typically, more powerful tensioning, sealing tools and cutters are used for high tensile steel straps.
