A steel strapping tensioner is an essential piece of equipment if you are going to use steel strapping on a regular basis in your business. As you might guess, this tool is going to add tension to the line when you have a strap wrapped around something like a pallet. With just a few turns of the level up and down, you can create the right amount of tension for your needs. Once you get comfortable with how this handy device works, you’ll find it easy to operate and a valuable part of your operation.
At Vulcan Wire, we carry a number of tensioner models to best suit your needs. It’s important that you take the time to pick out the right tool for the job, as you won’t be able to make do with the wrong model. We have tensioners designed for both flat loads and irregular loads as well as a variety of strap widths and thicknesses. If you are not quite sure which model you need, just give us a call and we’ll be happy to assist.

If you’re new to using steel strapping, it’s important to note that a tensioner alone is not going to help you make much progress. This is a tool that is meant to work as part of a kit, usually with a sealer and a cutter. The sealer will hold the strap in place, allowing it to maintain the tension you have created with your steel strapping tensioner. From there, a cutter can trim up the extra strap, leaving you with a finished product. Be sure to check out the rest of our steel strapping tools to get everything you need!
