Strapping Tools

A successful packaging process often hinges on using the right tools, and at Signet, we understand that better than anyone. Our extensive catalogue includes a vast range of high-quality strapping tools, which play an integral role in securing loads and ensuring they arrive at their destination in optimal condition.

What are the Different Types of Strapping Tools?

Strapping tools can be as diverse as the items they secure. From manual to battery-operated tools, we have a strapping solution to fit every scenario. Manual tools include tensioners, heat sealers, and combination tools. They require a degree of physical effort but are economical and versatile. On the other hand, battery-operated tools, such as cordless drills, offer increased speed and ease of use

What are the Most Common Strapping Materials?

The most common strapping materials include polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET), and steel straps. Each offers distinct advantages. PP is lightweight and versatile, ideal for securing light to medium loads. PET is known for its strength and stretch resistance, making it a great alternative to steel. Steel, with its high tensile strength, is ideal for heavy-duty applications and rigid loads.

What are the Benefits of Using a Strapping Tool?

A strapping tool provides an efficient, secure way to fasten goods for transportation or storage. These tools are designed to tighten straps to the optimal tension, providing security and stability. They can speed up the packaging process, reduce manual labor, and ultimately, lead to cost savings. Whether you're using a manual tensioner, a battery-operated sealer, a strapping dispenser or a pneumatic combination tool, the result is a more secure, professional-looking package.

Where and How are Strapping Tools Used?

Strapping tools are used in a wide range of industries, including logistics, warehousing, construction, and manufacturing. They are designed to secure loads on pallets, fasten goods together for transportation, or even bundle products for storage. Depending on the tool, the process can involve feeding the strap through the tool, tightening it around the load, sealing the strap, and finally cutting it to length.

What are Some Safety Tips When Using a Strapping Tool?

Safety should always be a priority when using strapping tools. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and safety glasses. Ensure tools are in good working condition before use. Always use the correct strapping material for your tool and load, and never exceed the tool's maximum tension capacity. Finally, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for tool operation and maintenance.
