Strapping tools & tensioners for one-way lashing strap: Strap tensioners & strap tensioners for plastic strap

Higher pre-tensioning forces are required for our 40mm and 50mm lashing straps. Manual tensioners are usually used for these straps. For professional users with a high packing volume, a pneumatic strapping tool is recommended . When using pneumatic strapping tools, virtually no muscle power is required - making them particularly easy to use. We can also provide you with attractive hire and hire-purchase offers on request - just contact us!

When is a pneumatic clamping device worthwhile?

Pneumatic stretch wrappers are used by large packaging companies and contract packers. As a pneumatic tensioner costs over 3000 EUR to purchase, it is worthwhile from a consumption of 1-2 pallets of lashing strap per month. The use of the pneumatic tensioner also results in significant time and therefore cost savings.

What are strapping tools?

Strapping tools are specialised tools used in the load securing and packaging industry to tighten and secure strapping or lashing bands around a load or package. These devices are critical to load stability by ensuring that the straps are applied tightly and evenly around the load. They come in different shapes and sizes, depending on the specific requirements of the application.

Material and construction

The material selection and construction of strapping tools is critical to their performance. High-quality materials such as hardened steel or robust alloys ensure the strength and durability of the equipment. The construction must be precise to ensure safe and reliable use. Ergonomic designs and user-friendly mechanisms help to increase efficiency and comfort during use.

Safety and compliance

Strapping tools must meet strict safety standards to ensure reliable performance under all conditions. They are manufactured and tested to specific standards to ensure they can withstand the rigours of load securing and packaging. In this section, we have provided an overview of strapping tools and their importance in the world of load securing and packaging. In the next section, we will take a closer look at the different types of strap tensioners and explain how they are suitable for different applications.
