Steel Strap Tensioner

Steel Strap Tensioner for Tight, Secure Steel Strapping

The tensioner is what pulls steel strap tight around a load so the joint, once sealed, holds it firm. This is a general-purpose tensioner for 12mm to 19mm steel strapping, drawing the strap even and tight before a seal is crimped to lock the joint. On the rigid, heavy loads that steel strap is used for, good tension is what keeps the pack secure through handling and transport. It is a strong, reliable hand tool built for the demands of steel strapping. Premium Packaging supplies steel strap tensioners to metal, building supply, manufacturing and heavy industry across Australia, delivered from our Sydney base.

How the Tensioner Works

The tensioner is the first step in securing steel strap. Wrap the strap around the load, feed it into the tensioner and draw the strap tight, then hold the tension while the joint is sealed. From there, a seal crimped with a sealer locks the joint at full tension. Even, firm tension matters on steel, since a rigid load will not tolerate a loose strap. Match the tensioner to your strap width across the 12mm to 19mm range.

Part of the Steel Strapping Kit

The tensioner works with the rest of the steel strapping tools. It tensions steel strapping, then steel strap seals are crimped onto the strap with a steel strap crimper to complete the joint. You need the strap, the tensioner, seals and a crimper to seal a joint. Buying the tools and seals together keeps everything matched to your strap size, and our team can put the combination together for your operation.
