The GT-XTREME strapping kit is a complete package for sites that strap heavy pallets and bundles with wide PET strap. Instead of sourcing a tool, strap coil and dispenser separately, you receive all components together and can begin work the day they arrive.
Why a GT-XTREME strapping kit matters for heavy loads
Strapping steel products, timber or building materials by hand puts serious physical strain on the operator. Manual tensioning at the forces these loads demand is slow and inconsistent. Each strap takes longer, tension varies, and the risk of load shift during transport rises. Buying a battery tool alone still leaves you without strap and a way to feed it cleanly to the work area. When you source components from different suppliers, you risk mismatched core sizes, strap widths outside the tool’s range, and delays from separate orders.
How the GT-XTREME strapping kit works
The kit centres on the GT-XTREME battery strapping tool, built for PET and PP strap in the 16–19 mm range, accepting thickness from 0.7 to 1.27 mm. It pulls up to 4200 N and reaches a tensioning speed of up to 9 m/min before closing each strap with a friction-weld seal. You can switch between automatic and manual operating modes.
The tool weighs 4 kg and runs on an 18 V, 5 Ah Li-ion battery that lasts for up to 300 straps before recharging. There is no air hose or mains cable, so you move freely around the load.
Where this strapping kit fits and where it does not
The kit suits steel service centres, sawmills and building-materials plants that handle very heavy pallets and bundles. It handles flat loads from 120 mm and round loads from 700 mm in diameter.
The tool accepts PET and PP strap in widths of 16 to 19 mm. If your application calls for steel strap, you need a different tool.
What to check before you order your GT-XTREME strapping kit
You select your strap variant when ordering: PET 19 × 1.0 mm with 1000 m per coil, or PET 15.5 × 0.9 mm with 1250 m per coil. Both use a 406 mm core.
Each kit includes:
- GT-XTREME battery strapping tool, 16–19 mm
- 18 V, 5 Ah Li-ion battery and charger
- One coil of PET strap in the variant you selected
- Dispenser cart for PET/PP strap, 10–19 mm, core 405/406 mm
- Tool box (370 × 200 × 100 mm), mounted on the cart
The dispenser cart measures 400 × 550 × 1050 mm and weighs 17 kg. It unwinds the strap twist-free and holds the tool within reach between cycles.
