Steel Strapping for Heavy Industrial Loads

Steel strapping is used for very heavy, rigid or sharp-edged loads such as metal coils, bar stock, bricks and timber, where minimal stretch is required.

• Steel strapping requires compatible seals and tools.
• Cut ends are sharp: use appropriate gloves and eye protection.
• Bare steel can rust; painted or coated strap is available for some applications.
• Edge protectors help prevent the strap damaging the load.

For some applications, PET or composite strapping may be considered. Suitability should be assessed for each load.
