Pacmasta Strap Feeder

Description

The Pacmasta strap feeder rod 1350mm (model SF-135) is a practical under-pallet strapping accessory designed to route PET, Poly, and Cord strapping cleanly beneath a loaded pallet – without requiring the operator to manually reach underneath or tilt the load. Supplied in a pack of 10, the SF-135 suits warehouse, distribution, and freight handling environments where pallets are strapped regularly as part of dispatch or storage workflows.

Key Features of the Pacmasta Strap Feeder Rod 1350mm

The SF-135 strap feeder rod 1350mm is built for repeated everyday use across a range of manual and semi-automated strapping setups. Key features include:

• Rod length: 1350mm – matched to standard pallet widths, allowing the strap to be guided fully from one side to the other in a single pass
• Compatible strapping types: PET, Poly, and Cord – a single set of rods can be used across different strapping setups within the same facility
• Composite construction – firm enough to guide the strap accurately, with slight flex to reduce the risk of breakage if the rod meets resistance or an uneven surface
• Pack of 10 rods – ensures spares are readily available on the floor, with replacement packs easy to order when supplies run low
• Designed for repeated everyday use in warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing facilities, and freight operations

How the Strap Feeder Rod 1350mm Works

Using the SF-135 strap feeder rod 1350mm is a straightforward process suited to either single-operator or two-person strapping workflows. The strapping is fed through the rod’s channel, and the operator pushes the rod beneath the pallet from one side, guiding the strap out the other side without disturbing the load. The 1350mm length is specifically suited to standard pallet widths, so the strap clears the underside in one controlled movement rather than requiring multiple repositions or a physical reach-under by the operator.

The composite material provides a small degree of flex when the rod encounters an uneven floor surface or resistance beneath the pallet, while remaining rigid enough to direct the strap accurately through the gap. Because the SF-135 is compatible with PET, Poly, and Cord strapping types, facilities running more than one strapping system can use the same set of rods across different lines. Stocking the pack of 10 means teams always have a working rod to hand, and the low cost of replacement makes it practical to maintain a buffer supply at busy despatch points.

Typical Applications

The Pacmasta strap feeder rod 1350mm is well suited to any operation where pallets are strapped regularly as part of the despatch or storage process. It is particularly useful where loads are heavy, tightly packed, or otherwise awkward to work around – situations where manually threading strapping beneath a pallet would be slow, physically demanding, or pose a manual handling risk. Typical environments include warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing facilities, and freight handling operations that process a consistent volume of palletised goods.

Once strapping has been routed beneath the pallet using the SF-135, it will need to be tensioned and secured. The Heavy Duty Tensioner 19-35mm Composite & Woven Pacmasta TST-30HD is a compatible tensioning tool for composite and woven strapping, and pairs naturally with the under-pallet feeder rod as part of a complete manual strapping setup.
