To use poly strapping successfully, you are going to need a tensioner. The task that this piece of equipment carries out is a simple one, but it is essential. By adding tension to the strap as it is wrapped around a load, this tool allows you to secure the items in question before the strap is sealed and the task is completed. If you plan to use poly strapping as an important part of your business operations, make sure there is always a poly strapping tensioner on hand and ready to be used.
You can’t just order a tensioner without first looking at the specs you need to get the job done. At Vulcan Wire, we offer tensioners for both flat and irregular load types, and we also have models for a variety of strap widths and thicknesses. First, determine the size of poly strapping you will be working with, and what you will be securing, and then place your order for the right tensioner.

Adding a tensioner to your tool kit is a nice start, but it’s not the end of the story. You are going to need a few other handy tools to make quick work of your strapping tasks.
