How To Choose The Right Type Of Tenso Strapping For The Job
Products of varying sizes, shapes and weight have to be safely secured whilst they are being transported.
The Tenso range of strapping supplies and accessories provides a solution for all the load securement requirements relative to all industrial packaging and strapping applications.
There are many applications for the wide range of Tenso strapping products. From bricks to bamboo, from timber to trusses and everything in between.
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.
How To Choose The Correct Strapping
There are many different varieties and types of strapping.
The Tenso range covers:
- GreenWave PET Strapping (exclusive to Australia)
There are several factors to consider when choosing the right strapping product for the job.
Here is a list of items that you need to consider:
- the specified tensile breaking strength (Will the strapping 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 strapping material)
- the suitablity of the strapping to the load that you are securing (you would not use steel strapping for smaller, soft loads)
We have listed a few senerios below to help clarify things a little further.
