Frequently Asked Questions About Steel Strapping

  • What do you think is the best tensioner to use with steel strapping?

    MUL20, next question. Kidding, but really no MUL20. For typical pallets, or timber packs or frame or anything where a flat package tensioner can be mounted, my answer will be MUL20 every time. The mul20 is quick and easy to use, but also cost effective when vs’ing Battery powered steel tensioners,(most battery steel tensioners are slower than a sealless steel strapping tool) the MUL20 has been around for decades, with many MUL20s in the field for over 2 decades now. Its a proven tool and design. The MUL20 is easy to work on and service by us, reducing labour time and easy adjustments by end users without the need for a technician.

  • What is Steel Strapping?

    Steel strapping, sometimes also known as metal strapping, is a very high tensile kind of strapping made from steel.

    It is extremely strong and most commonly used to secure heavy duty loads. It can also be used to secure smaller items and loads, with various grades of strength and widths of strapping available.

    Steel strapping does need to be carefully handled; however, it is a reliable and tough choice when it comes to securing heavy duty products for transportation.

  • What can steel strapping be used for?

    Steel strapping can be used to keep pallet loads tightly secured and products bundled together and in place whether an item is being transported or placed in storage. It is particularly great to use with items that are heavy duty, abrasive or have sharp edges as the steel is strong and takes a lot to break it.

    Its high tensile strength means that it can allow significantly sized and/or weighted products to be secure and is the strongest and most stable kind of strapping available.

    As it comes in various grades of strength, if you’re not sure the right kind of steel strapping you need, we can help you.

  • What are the benefits of using steel strapping?

    Steel strapping offers a variety of benefits when compared to other kinds of strapping, including:

    • It is the strongest kind of strapping material
    • Steel strapping can be used on a wide range of products and items, including those with sharp edges which may compromise other forms of strapping
    • It can handle heavy and oversized loads
    • It has been reliably used for a long time

  • What tools do i need for use with steel strapping?

    That will depend on your goods size, their weight and the way they’re packaged. Smaller items packaged with steel with a low diameter such as engineering steel or around a coil may need a pusher style tensioner like a ZR TENSIONER or pneumatic as a regular flat pack tension is hard to mount and remove where others will be fine with a flat package tensioner. 

  • Do I need a dispenser for steel strapping?

    As our steel strapping will want to lay perfectly flat, making it easy to feed under goods, it wont want to stay in its coil once the coil is cut open. we recommend the use of one of our ribbon steel strapping dispensers found here.

     

  • What is the difference between ribbon steel strapping and rope steel strapping?

    So rope / oscillated steel strapping, is always on 406mm inner diameter cores, with approx a 45mm coil face. the rolls weight approx 45kg. Ribbon steel strapping in Australia is commonly on 150-200mm inner diameter cores on a 15 kg roll. the roll is always the same width as the strap.

  • Can i use buckles on steel strapping?

    No, steel strapping required the use of seals or a sealless tool. steel strapping is too hard to bend through a buckle. if you have seen steel strapping folded over, its likely in a pusher seal or ZR seal.

  • Will steel strapping rust?

    Oh my yes. the painted and waxed surface will give it some protection for abit of time, but if the steel is exposed it will rust. If you need better protection from rusting try stainless or galvanized steel strapping.

  • Can i put this steel around a small pack of bars? my current tensioner doesn’t work, it gets stuck.

    Yes you can but you will require what is called a pusher tensioner such as our ZR tensioner or our feedwheel pusher tensioner.

  • Why do you invoice per KG and not per roll, wouldn’t that be easier?

    No, as a wholesaler, the rolls weight vary too much from any supplier, Rope steel strapping rolls can vary upto 8 kg. you should be wary of anybody invoicing steel per roll if its not weighed as you might be getting underweight coils. AAK6A ribbon varies about +/- 1kg

  • How can I tension round packs?

    to tension round packs you will need a pusher tensioner, typically a tensioner with a triangle nose which pushes up against pusher seals. see our video here of how its done.

     

  • Do you have battery powered tools avalible for steel strapping?

    Yes we do, please see 2 of our battery powered steel strapping tensioners here, please note these are for high end industrial requirements like coil steel and plate steel. Most customers looking to use a battery powered tool should look into a battery powered PET strapping tool
