High Strength Strapping

Polyester strapping is a highly cost effective substitute for steel strapping. It helps in reducing all the additional costs that come with steel strapping like:

  • Downtime
  • Soft product damages
  • Safety concerns

These straps don’t rust, corrode or stain the products. They help ensure that the items are shipped safely without any damages. Use special cargo restraint systems which are designed specifically for safe transportation of the products strapped with these cord straps.

Composite cord strapping is the most rigid type of strapping compared to other cord straps like bonded and woven straps. Thanks to the polymer coating, it is almost like steel. Although it is hard, it is yet easy to loop around the objects that need to be packaged.

Advantages of Using Cord Straps

  • Cord straps can offer almost the same strength as steel.
  • They are safe for both the user and the receiver.
  • They don’t cause any damages to the packages.
  • They are highly cost effective.
  • They can retain high level of tension.
  • They can bear high level of shock without breaking.
  • They are lightweight and easy to carry.
  • They can be printed upon.
  • They are resistant to chemicals, and will not rot or rust.
  • They are also highly resistant to weather.
  • They can also be re-tensioned.

Orange-colored cord strapping is the ultimate in this category that comes close to steel in terms of strength. It is so strong and durable that it is also referred as ‘synthetic’ steel strapping. It is widely used in different industries including the lumber industry.

All other types of cord strapping are also highly reliable. Woven cord is another option that is so strong and reliable that it is recommended for rail road. Golden Bear Tool offers complete range of woven cord straps to meet different types of needs in different industries.

The PRHR-114 is also ideal to strap slit coils and bundles and when compared with similar tools its feed wheel can be replaced very fast. This tool also has a one button operation and so it is very popular with workers in the industry. It uses the push type 1 1/4” seal with a notch joint. This is a heavier tool though as it weighs about 34 pounds. As with other Signode products this tool too comes with a very good manual and safety instructions and also a how-to on operating the tool. The PRHR-114 can be used with or without balancers. It is also the best tool to give the strongest tensioning possible in the market.

Though it is a very simple tool, Signode has a good manual insisting on safety guidelines while using its tools. The RCNS2-114 also comes with a good safety manual and warranty. Operators are generally given training on how to use these tools either by a trained professional from Signode or a company operated who has experience handling these tools.

The RCNS2-114 applies a single reverse notch seal joint on high tensile steel strapping. Since its casing is made of metal alloys, it is safe to use and durable. It also performs well even in harsh strapping conditions.

Advantages

  • Safe and durable
  • Smooth application of seals
  • Easy to operate single handedly
  • Light in weight
  • Reduces intensive labor

There are other alternatives to RCNS2-114, like the Fromm A461, but there are a lot of Signode loyalists who prefer this tool, as it is light in weight and easy to operate. The tool has an extended life span and its wear parts are easily available. Workers are comfortable in handling this tool and work is productive.

The only disadvantage according to many users is that since this is only a sealer, they have to use a separate tensioner in order to pull the strap tight.

Though there are efficient tensioners like Fromm A452 and Signode PN2-114, there are those who prefer the combination tools that are far easier and faster to use. Pneumatic tools are fast losing favor among some of the industry users who are switching to battery operated tools that are brought out by Signode and Fromm. These tools are very efficient, easy to operate and faster, increasing productivity.

The RCNS2-114 is very efficient when sealing in awkward positions and whenever productivity needs to be maximized. These labor saving devices come in two styles, light weight pistol grips and the diaphragm types for heavy duty applications.
