Frequently Asked Questions for Steel Strap use in Heavy‑Duty Industrial Applications
Offering steel strapping in a wide range of widths from 13 mm to 32 mm and thicknesses from 0.38 mm to 0.80 mm depending on the product type and application
Provides two main types of steel strapping:
- Apex®: Cold-rolled, low carbon steel, non-heat treated. Ideal for general-duty applications.
- Magnus®: Cold-rolled, medium carbon steel, heat-treated for high tensile strength and shock resistance. Designed for the most demanding heavy-duty applications.
| Feature | Apex® | Magnus® |
| Carbon Content | Low carbon | Medium carbon |
| Heat Treatment | No | Heat-treated for additonal strength |
| Strength | Regular duty | Heavy tensile strength |
| Applications | General packaging | Industrial construction and metals |
| Finish Options | Painted, waxed or zinc-coated | Painted, waxed or zinc-coated |
High-strength steel provides the following benefits when used in strapping:
- Superior load integrity: Maintains tension without stretching, even under extreme stress.
- Shock resistance: Absorbs impact during transport or handling.
- Durability: Withstands harsh environments, including temperature extremes and outdoor exposure.
- Corrosion resistance: Available with protective coatings like zinc or wax for long-term reliability
- Metals: Securing steel coils, sheets, and bars.
- Construction: Bundling bricks, timber, pipes, and panels.
- Timber & Lumber: Stabilizing logs and wood products.
- Food & Beverage: Palletizing bulk goods and containers.
- Distribution & Warehousing: Ensuring load stability during transport
Its strength and reliability make it essential for any industry dealing with heavy, bulky, or irregularly shaped loads.
Seals and Buckles for Strapping
Seals and buckles for steel strapping create strapping joints, they are used to hold tensioned strapping ends together and help prevent the straps from coming apart. Metal strapping joints include a seal with a notch or crimp joint.

Steel Strapping Machines & Automation Options
Providing equipment engineered to support demanding industrial applications, particularly within the metals sector, where product form, weight, and handling requirements vary significantly.
We develop and manufacture systems across multiple regions with global installations to support consistent, high‑performance operation across international production environments. Including the Japanese‑engineered M410N strapping head for high‑precision, heavy‑duty strapping of steel coils and bundles.
Metals producers use application‑specific machines for coils, sheets, billets, tubes, and bundles, supporting automation from standalone strappers to fully integrated, in‑line systems within rolling mills and processing lines. This approach delivers reliable load unitizing, consistent strap tension, and seamless integration into high‑throughput global operations.
Additional Accessories
The following solutions support the efficient removal and handling of strapping.
Sustainability in Steel
Steel is an eco-friendly material. Recycling steel helps save natural resources. It also reduces energy use and emissions from making new steel. The durability of steel allows for repeated use.
