Strapping equipment

Strapping equipment closes the gap between loose goods and a secured load. If you strap pallets, bundles or packages with PET, PP, steel or textile band, this category holds battery, pneumatic and manual devices alongside dispenser carts, seals and ready-to-work kits.

Warehouse managers, production teams and logistics buyers will find models matched to their strap type, width range and daily volume.

Strapping equipment

Why strapping equipment matters for load security

Goods that shift on a pallet during transport cause damage claims and rejected deliveries. Strapping holds layers, bundles and individual items together by wrapping a band around them, tensioning it and locking the joint. The question is which device, strap material and tension level suit your loads.

This category covers the full scope of strapping equipment: battery-powered, pneumatic and manual devices for PET, PP, steel and textile strap, together with the carts, seals and complete kits that support them.

Battery, pneumatic and manual: how the drive types differ

Battery devices run on lithium-ion cells and move freely around the warehouse floor without hoses or cables. Strap widths range from 9 mm up to 25 mm on PET and PP models such as the GT ONE (10–16 mm, 2750 N) and the TES EXTREME (19–25 mm, up to 5000 N). For steel strap, the ELECTRA M Series covers 19, 25 and 32 mm with up to 7500 N of tension. Most battery models seal PET and PP strap by friction welding, eliminating the need for metal seals.

Pneumatic devices connect to a compressed-air line at 0.5–0.8 MPa. The AIR19 handles 13–19 mm PET and PP strap with up to 3500 N of tension. They suit fixed packing stations that already have an air supply.

Manual devices need no power source at all. The BO-51 tensions and interlocks steel strap without seals, weighing 3.9 kg. For textile and composite band, the XW-20 covers 13–50 mm widths from 1.12 kg. These fit locations without electricity or compressed air and operations with low daily strap counts.

Choosing strapping equipment by strap material, width and tension

Each device accepts one strap material within a fixed width range. Begin with the band your loads require:

  • PET and PP strap (9–25 mm): covered by battery and pneumatic models. Friction weld joints remove the cost of metal seals. Tension forces reach up to 5000 N depending on the model.
  • Steel strap (13–32 mm): needs dedicated devices. Sealless manual models such as the BO-51 interlock the overlapping ends. Battery and pneumatic sets accept steel strap up to 32 mm.
  • Textile and composite strap: the battery-powered ITI 71 covers 16–40 mm (up to 11,000 N) and the manual XW-20 covers 13–50 mm. Joints use wire buckles in 16, 19, 25 or 32 mm.

Width and thickness must fall inside the range printed on the device. A unit built for 12–16 mm strap will not grip 19 mm band. Thickness must also match: the GT ONE accepts 0.5–1.1 mm, while the TES EXTREME accepts 0.8–1.2 mm.

Pallet strapping kits, dispenser carts and seals

If you are outfitting a new packing station, a pallet strapping kit bundles the device, strap coil and dispenser cart in one order. The CORD 13-19 mm kit, for instance, includes a manual device, two 600 m rolls of 16 mm composite strap, 1000 clips and a cart.

Dispenser carts prevent tangling. Models fit PP/PET cores of 200 mm and 405/406 mm, textile bands with a 76 mm core, and ribbon-wound steel coils.

Seals depend on the strap type and joint method. Friction weld strapping equipment needs no separate consumables. PP strap closed with a manual tensioner requires metal clips in 13 or 16 mm. Steel strap uses banding clips or buckles. Textile and composite band needs galvanized wire buckles sized 16, 19, 25 or 32 mm.
