19MM X 0.56 X 192M BLACK RIBBON STEEL STRAPPING - BLUESCOPE

Steel Strapping offers a variety of benefits when compared to other kinds of strapping, including:

• It is the strongest kind of strapping material
• Steel Strapping can be used on a wide range of products and items, including
  those with sharp edges which may compromise other forms of strapping
• It is well suited to handle heavy and oversized loads
• It has been reliably used for a long time

Steel strapping is ideal for securing pallet loads and keeping products tightly bundled, whether they're in transit or storage. It's especially well-suited for heavy-duty items, abrasive materials, or products with sharp edges, as its high tensile strength offers exceptional resistance to breaking.
As the strongest and most stable strapping option available, it provides reliable support for significantly sized and/or weighted products.

Steel strapping, also referred to as metal strapping, is a high-tensile strapping made from steel, known for its exceptional strength. It is primarily used to secure heavy-duty loads, though it can also be applied to smaller items, thanks to the availability of different strength grades and widths. While it does need to be handled carefully, steel strapping remains a durable and dependable option for securing heavy duty goods during transport.

To dispose of Steel Strapping correctly, it needs to be cut into smaller pieces. By having it cut into smaller pieces, it means it can be recycled properly and safely at a commercial recycling facility.

MUL20 Sealless Steel Strapping tool, next question. Kidding, but really no MUL20.
For typical pallets, timber packs, frames or anything where a flat package tensioner can be mounted, my answer will be MUL20 every time.
The MUL20 is quick and easy to use, but also cost effective when comparing Battery powered steel tensioners (most battery steel tensioners are
slower than a sealless steel strapping tool). The MUL20 has been around
for many years, with many MUL20s in the field for over 2 decades now. It is a
proven tool and design. The MUL20 is easy to work on and and can be serviced by us, reducing labour time and easy adjustment can be made by end users without the need for a technician.

Rope/Oscillated Steel Strapping, is always on 406mm inner diameter cores, with approx a 45mm coil face. The rolls weight approx 45kg.
Ribbon steel strapping in Australia is commonly on 150-200mm inner diameter cores on a 15 kg roll. The roll is always the same width as the strap.

The tools needed for Steel Strapping will depend on the size of your goods, their weight and the way they’re packaged. Smaller items packaged with steel with a low diameter such as engineering steel or around a coil may need a pusher style tensioner like the YBICO ZR Tensioner or pneumatic as a regular flat pack tension is hard to mount and remove where others will be fine with a flat package tensioner.

As our steel strapping will want to lay perfectly flat, which does make it easier to feed under goods, it wont want to stay in its coil once the coil is cut open.

Yes, Steel Strapping will rust. The painted and waxed surface will give it protection for some time but once the steel is exposed it will rust.
If you need better protection from rusting, try stainless or galvanized steel strapping.
