What are the strapping methods and techniques of Steel Strapping?

Steel Strapping, or steel strapping, is an efficient and reliable method of fixing and packaging goods, which is widely used in logistics, manufacturing and construction industries.
1. Preparation before strapping
Choose the right steel strap: Choose the right steel strap specification according to the weight, size and shape of the goods. Generally speaking, the width and thickness of the steel strap should match the size and weight of the goods to ensure the firmness and safety of the strapping.
Check the quality of the steel strap: Make sure that the surface of the steel strap is flat, rust-free and undamaged to ensure the strapping effect. At the same time, check whether the edge of the steel strap is smooth to avoid scratching the goods or hands during the strapping process.
2. Strapping method
Horizontal strapping: Suitable for rectangular or flat goods. Start the steel strap from one end of the goods, wrap it around the goods horizontally, and then tighten and fix it at the other end. During the strapping process, keep the tension of the steel strap consistent to avoid looseness or twisting.
Vertical strapping: Suitable for cylindrical or long goods. Start the steel strap from the top of the goods, wrap it around the goods vertically, and then tighten and fix it at the bottom. Also keep the tension of the steel belt consistent to ensure that the goods are firmly fixed.
Cross-tying: Suitable for large or irregularly shaped goods. The steel belt is crossed from different directions of the goods to form multiple intersections, and then tightened and fixed at the intersections. This method can enhance the firmness of the strapping and prevent the goods from shifting or collapsing during transportation.
3. Strapping skills
Preload control: During the strapping process, the preload of the steel belt should be properly controlled. If the preload is too small, the strapping may be unstable; if the preload is too large, the goods or the steel belt may be damaged. Therefore, the tension of the steel belt should be adjusted according to the actual situation of the goods.
Fixed position selection: When fixing the steel belt, choose a suitable position. Generally speaking, the fixed position should be selected at the corners or load-bearing parts of the goods to ensure the firmness and stability of the strapping.
Avoid scratches: During the strapping process, be careful to avoid the steel belt scratching the goods or hands. Special protective pads or gloves can be used to reduce the risk of scratches.
Inspection and adjustment: After the strapping is completed, carefully check the strapping effect. If the steel belt is found to be loose or twisted, it must be adjusted and repaired in time.
