Types of Steel Strapping
Are you looking for steel strapping that is easy to handle and doesn’t tangle? You may need to consider our Rope or Ribbon wound steel strapping.
Rope Wound Steel Strapping – made by winding steel coils around central axis in a spiral fashion, creating a thick and durable strapping suitable for heavy-duty applications and high volume applications. If you are interested in premium steel or metal strapping? We’re proud to offer our high-quality Tenso™-brand steel strapping which is a popular choice for packaging and securing heavy loads. It is known for its high tensile strength and has an excellent shock resistance.
Ribbon Wound Steel Strapping – made by winding steel coils around a central axis in a flat, ribbon-like configuration, creating a thinner and lighter roll of strapping suitable for lighter load. If you are not sure which type of ribbon wound steel is best for your application, you may need to consider our Tenso™ Ultra Steel Strapping with Hi Tensile Heat Treated which is ideal for heavy loads. This strapping is heat-treated to enhance the durability and strength making it resistant to bending, twisting, or warping under extreme conditions.
In addition to the steel strapping itself, we supply the seals and dispensers for your applications. Not sure which type of steel strapping or tensile strength is best for your application? Contact us: our experts are happy to help you choose from our range of options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is steel strapping?
Steel strapping is a high-strength, durable material used to secure heavy loads in transport and storage. Made from high-tensile steel, it resists stretching, impact, and abrasion, ensuring maximum load security for industrial applications like construction, metalworking, and timber. Ideal for securing pallets, metal coils, bricks, and machinery, it maintains tension over time for reliable load containment.

What is a steel strapping tool?
A steel strapping tool is a device used to tension, seal, and cut steel strapping, ensuring secure load containment for transport and storage. These tools help apply the right amount of tension and lock the strapping in place to prevent movement or damage.
Types of Steel Strapping Tools:
Tensioners – Tighten the strapping around the load.
Sealers – Crimp metal seals to secure the strap.
Combination Tools – Perform tensioning, sealing, and cutting in one device.
Pneumatic Tools – Air-powered for high-tension and heavy-duty applications.
Battery-Powered Strapping Tools – Provide automatic tensioning, sealing, and cutting for increased efficiency and ease of use, reducing manual effort.
Commonly used in construction, logistics, timber, and manufacturing, these tools enhance efficiency, safety, and reliability in securing heavy loads.

Load the strapping roll onto the strapping dispenser for easy access.
Pull the required length of steel strapping and wrap it around the load.
Step 2: Tension the Strapping
Feed both ends of the strapping into the steel tensioner.
Crank the tensioner handle to tighten the strap securely around the load.
Step 3: Apply the Metal Seal
Slide a metal snap-on seal over the overlapped strapping ends.
Step 4: Seal the Strapping
Use the steel sealer to crimp the metal seal, locking the strapping in place.
Ensure the seal is tightly secured for maximum load stability.
Step 5: Cut the Excess Strapping
