When securing inventory for storage or shipment, having the right straps and strapping tools for the job is critical. At USA Strapping, we offer our customers modern straps and strapping tools with an emphasis on quality products that stand up to challenging jobs, conditions, and transportation of goods. While premium strapping products and strapping tools might cost slightly more than cheaply made straps and tools, they provide an excellent return on investment in the long run, increasing efficiency, preventing workplace injuries, and cutting down on damaged products. Let’s look at some premium straps and strapping tools and how they save you time and money in the long run.
The Excellent Durability and Reliability of Premium Straps
At USA Strapping, we carry a wide range of straps made from high-strength materials like polyester, polypropylene, and steel. These modern strapping materials are more resistant to environmental stressors like damaging UV rays, have excellent tensile strength, and can absorb shocks while secured inventory is transported. While many cheaper straps made from these materials are often available, they often lack the ability to withstand UV rays, shock, and tensile strength as shortcuts are taken during their manufacturing process. Steel straps, for example, might not have an adequate corrosion-resistant coating, leading to rust formation that increases the risk of the strap failing and injuring a worker. Straps made from low-grade polypropylene or non-high-tensile polyester also have their own setbacks, often lacking adequate tensile strength or snapping when being brought under tension. While these cheaper straps might save you a little bit of money in the short term, these savings quickly evaporate when multiple straps must be replaced due to failure, inventory becomes damaged, or an employee is injured. By purchasing premium straps made from high-grade materials, you can save more money in the long run and increase the safety of your workplace.
Increase Worker Efficiency With Premium Strapping Tools
Working with straps and inefficient strapping tools often takes a toll on workers, leading to slower turnaround times and other inefficiencies. Cheap strapping tools are often prone to failure, leaving your employees without the necessary tools to get the job done. Modern premium strapping tools like pneumatic fasteners and tensioners are designed with ergonomics in mind for the worker and reduce worker fatigue while speeding up their job. Combination strapping tools can do the job of several different tools, replacing the need for an individual cutter, sealer, and tensioner. By investing in these strapping tools for your employees, you can increase efficiency and decrease worker fatigue at the same time.
Enhance Safety and Have Less Damage to Product With Premium Strapping Products
When straps fail, the results can be dangerous and expensive. Injuries from falling inventory are among the leading causes of injuries for warehouse employees, and straps that fail when transporting products on the road are an increasing problem. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2010, an estimated 50,000 crashes on the road were caused by unsecured loads, leading to thousands of injuries and, sadly, over 400 deaths. When cheaply made straps fail, people are placed in danger, and the product is damaged or destroyed. When you invest in premium strapping materials, you help cut down on these tragedies and save money by ensuring your inventory gets to its destination safely and in one piece.
