Description
The Pacmasta flat pack steel tensioner 19mm HD is a heavy-duty hand tool designed to apply controlled tension to steel strapping on flat package loads. Built for repeated daily use in commercial and industrial environments, it gives operators a straightforward and dependable method of drawing steel strap tight before a sealer is applied to lock the joint.
Key Features of the Flat Pack Steel Tensioner 19mm HD
The following features make this flat pack steel tensioner 19mm well suited to high-volume strapping operations:
- Compatible with steel strapping widths from 12mm up to 19mm, covering the most commonly used flat pack strap sizes in industrial and warehousing settings
- Designed specifically for flat package load applications, including regular box, crate, and pallet strapping tasks
- Overall dimensions of 360mm × 130mm × 110mm, keeping the tool manageable during extended use
- Heavy-duty (HD) construction intended to withstand the demands of ongoing commercial and industrial strapping operations
- Straightforward tensioning mechanism that allows operators to draw strap tight before a separate sealer is applied
How It Works
Using the flat pack steel tensioner 19mm HD follows a standard two-step workflow. The operator threads the steel strap around the package and through the tensioner, then works the tensioner to pull the strap tight against the load. Once the correct tension is reached, a separate sealer is used to crimp a seal onto the overlapping strap ends, locking the tension in place. The tensioner is then released and removed, leaving a secure, tight strap around the package.
This tension-then-seal process gives the operator good control over final strap tightness and is standard practice for steel strapping on flat package loads. Operations that process a high volume of strapped packages each day will benefit from having a purpose-built flat pack steel tensioner rather than attempting to tension strap by hand.
Typical Applications
The flat pack steel tensioner 19mm HD is commonly used wherever flat package loads need to be secured with steel strap before dispatch or storage. Typical settings include timber yards, building materials suppliers, steel fabricators, manufacturing plants, and general freight and logistics operations. It suits any application where 12mm to 19mm steel strap is the specified strapping material and flat package geometry is involved – for example, strapping bundles of timber, steel sections, boards, or boxed goods on pallets.
Completing Your Steel Strapping Setup
A flat pack steel tensioner works as part of a broader steel strapping system. To complete the process you will also need a compatible sealer to crimp seals onto the strap joint, as well as an adequate supply of steel strap in the appropriate width. The Pacmasta D.Notch HD L/Handle Sealer – 19mm is designed to work alongside this flat pack steel tensioner 19mm HD in the 12-19mm steel strap range and is worth considering as part of your setup.
