Manual tensioners for steel strapping can be brought to the work location and do not require an external power source or attachments. They are used for low-volume applications or where access to a power source is limited. The operator pushes a lever to tighten straps before a seal is applied and sealed using a Steel Strapping Crimper.
Tensioner tools for steel strapping pull the ends of the strapping to secure the strap around the bundle before sealing the ends together. Steel and zinc-coated steel strapping bands are used to secure heavy loads or loads with irregular or rough edges, such as wooden shipping crates, cement blocks, lumber, and machinery.
