When companies need to transport large bundles of parts or materials, they need a strapping solution that’s reliable enough to hold the loads in place without any risks of damage. A type that works well is the poly woven strapping. It is a versatile and flexible strapping option and is a superior alternative to other types, such as steel, composite and extruded. It also replaces wire ropes, chains, and ratchet straps. It will get the work done regardless of the cargo you need to transport – be it lumber, motor vehicles, containers, or construction equipment – practically anything you may need to relocate. It is useful and beneficial in other ways as well. Here are more details about that.
Reduced Environmental Impact
When compared to steel, the environmental impact of poly woven strapping is much lower. During production, polyester is extruded from raw raisin materials, while steel requires a very high amount of energy. It is an environmentally-friendly option that allows conscious companies to recycle their packaging waste. The recycled material can be reused several times. Post-consumer products can be easily made, including a new poly woven strap.
Safety Benefits
By using poly woven strapping you will keep your employees and customers safe from sharp and potentially dangerous edges. By opting for this alternative, you will provide an easy-to-work-with option that significantly reduces the risk for product damages and personal injuries. Moreover, when comparing rolls of equal length, poly woven straps are much lighter than steel, they don’t spring back and once the strapping is removed employees and customers can easily gather up the material without worrying about getting cut or scraped.
High Performance and Durability
Poly woven strapping is made to have the strength of steel, plus other features that result in various performance advantages. One such feature is the excellent elongation and memory retention characteristics. These will allow straps to stay tight when loads expand and contract. Furthermore, these material qualities make poly woven straps able to absorb impact without breaking and without losing the grip of the load.
As for durability, poly woven straps are highly resistant to weather elements and ultraviolet degradation, which makes them useful regardless of the season. They won’t weaken, they won’t rust and are resistant to alkali solutions and diluted acids. Remember, rusting can damage and stain products when exposed to the elements. In summary, the qualities that poly woven strappings have make them the best strapping option for securing different palletized and unitized loads even through the most rugged transport situations.
