that keeps your pallets safe.
Traditionally, companies and teams used hand application methods in order to secure the strap to their loads
and t
his process
is
augmented by basic
tools like strapping cutters, joint sealers, and strap tensioners. More and more often, we hear from businesses that are interested in
speeding up the unitizing and palletizing processes, as well as reducing the amount they spend on labor hours for relatively simple tasks.
One economical and effective way to achieve both of these goals is by implementing a battery-powered strapping tool into your packaging sy

What is a Battery-Powered Strapping Tool?
Every type of strapping tool is important and can offer incredible benefits to the people that use them.
Today, however, we’re focusing specifically on battery-powered strapping tools, some
times called automatic strapping tools or semi-automatic strapping tools
. These are somewhat self-explanatory in that they are a strapping tool that operates with the help of a battery. There are multiple kinds of battery-powered
t
ools available and each of these performs different functions. One of the most popular varieties is a battery-powered combination tool. Combination strapping tools are able to work as a strap cutter, tensioner, and sealer
in just one handy device
