How to Strap Polypropylene Strapping ?
Strapping made of polypropylene is versatile and affordable. Ideal for light to medium-duty packages and loads in factories and warehouses. Due to its lighter weight than steel, polypropylene straps are more easy, secure, and affordable to use. Available in 1/2",5/8",3/4" strap widths.
Tensioners
When strapping a load, start by encircling the package with both strapping ends. The strapping should be layered with the end close to your body just on bottom. Next, press the base handle and tension lever together. Allow 5" of strapping at the front of the tool then insert the bottom strap under the gripper plate cutter wheel. Feed the upper strap through the cutter wheel after releasing the base and tension lever and through the windlass slot, tighten the strapping as much as you can. Continue tensioning the strapping to the desired level by moving the tension lever back and forth.
Seals

Sealers
Close the sealer's nose around the seal and crimp the strapping tightly . To cut the strapping, press the tension lever and base handle together to cut the strap, then slide the tensioning tool to the right.
