Why Use Strapping?

Strapping is used to ensure that a load is secured during transport, use or storage. It is widely used due to its strength and minimal volume required to complete the job, which is good for both your budget and the environment.

There are several factors to consider when choosing the right strap product for the job. Here is a list of items that you need to consider:

The specified tensile breaking strength (Will the strap be strong ensure to hold the load?)
The possibility of the load changing volume during transport due to load settlement (compensated for by the elasticity of the strap material)
The suitablity of the strap to the load that you are securing (you would not use steel strapping for smaller, soft loads)
