Reel for strapping

· Reel for strapping
The reel for strip works on the same principle as a reel for tape but its dimensions are adapted to the reels of strip. It is often placed on a two-wheeled cart so that you can move it easily without being slowed down by the weight of the reel. It is also equipped with a bar-shaped handle that allows you to handle it with one hand, a bar guide and a brake to stop rotation of the spool quickly. Finally, it also has a storage bin located right next to the handle where you can store the screeds, buckles and various strapping tools

· The cardboard angle
The cardboard angle is used to protect the corners and edges of the pallets from shocks and knocks encountered during transport. It must be placed on the pallet before installing the strips because they will maintain in place the angle. It is made of 100% recyclable cardboard or mailing bags wellpackeurope.()com/mailing-bags and bent at 90 ° to perfectly fit the corners.

· The safety shears
This accessory is only used for decoupling steel strips . Indeed, the safety shears have been specially designed to cut all steel strips. It has a very thin base that allows it to be easily placed under the strap (even very tight) in order to hold it in place before cutting it.

· Crimping tool
The crimping tool is also an accessory for steel strips . It can crimp a strapping screed , that is to say, fold over the strip and flatten it on to have a good support. It has two large handles that allow you to manipulate it easily.

The strapping kit , the best way to not forget anything
In order to have at hand all the necessary equipment for strapping parcels or pallets, there are strapping kits. These kits consist of at least one reel of strapping and buckles or strapping screeds. The more elaborate kits also contain a reel and a strapping machine.

Each kit has tools compatible with the material of the strip . In fact, according to the material of the strip, the reel, the strapping loops and the clevises will not be the same: for example, the polypropylene strap may very well be securely fastened thanks to a plastic strapping loop while the polyester strapping needs a steel strapping loop.
