Manual Strapping Tools: Reliable Hand-Held Solutions for Secure Loads

Choosing the right hand-held device can make all the difference when securing packages for transport. FROMM’s range of manual strapping tools covers both PP/PET plastic and steel applications, offering durable, low-maintenance solutions for workshops, warehouses and light industrial settings.

 

Plastic manual tools: functions and applications

Lightweight combination devices such as the P403 and P404 provide tensioning, sealing and cutting in a single operation. They work with polypropylene and polyester strapping and are especially useful for palletised loads, crates and flat-pack bundles where portability and ease of use are priorities. Typical functions include adjustable tension, serrated-seal joining and easy strap threading, which together speed up repetitive tasks and reduce operator fatigue.

 

Benefits of plastic hand tools

Portable steel-frame designs give longevity while keeping weight down. These devices require minimal maintenance and are cost-effective for moderate throughput environments. Because they accept PP and PET materials, they are versatile where elasticity and shock absorption are needed, for example in beverage or consumer goods packing. The simplicity of spare parts and seals also lowers lifetime costs.

Steel manual tools: functions and applications

Manual metal strapping tools are engineered for heavy, irregular or high-density loads. Sealless tensioners and crimping tools provide secure joints for timber, scrap metal bundles, roofing coils and other industrial goods. Operators rely on these devices where high strap strength and resistance to abrasion are essential. FROMM’s steel range includes models optimised for narrow surfaces and high-tension requirements.

 

Advantages of steel hand tools

The primary benefits are superior strap strength and long-term durability. Manual steel strapping tools perform well outdoors and in harsh conditions; they also work with a variety of seal types and offer excellent joint integrity for transport regulations. For occasional or low-volume heavy duty tasks, these tools are economical and highly reliable.

 

Choosing the right device

Decide on strap material, typical load type and expected daily cycles. If mobility and light-to-moderate throughput matter, plastic manual strapping tools are a strong choice. For dense or abrasive loads, steel strapping tools are preferable.

Training, spares availability and local service support should also guide selection. Regular inspection of strap condition, seal integrity and the tool’s tension settings preserves safety and avoids costly rework. Effective operator training ensures consistent strapping performance and prolongs the working life of each device. FROMM offers training, spares and local technical support.

Paperpad: Sustainable paper void-fill for modern packing

The Paperpad system from FROMM converts recyclable, FSC-certified paper into compact, crumpled void-fill pads that protect goods while reducing plastic waste. Designed for busy pack stations, the PC100 delivers high-speed output, simple loading and consistent pad quality to suit e-commerce, electronics and fragile goods fulfilment.

How Paperpad works

This machine uses a patented crumpling method to transform fanfold paper into dense cushions that fill voids and prevent movement during transit. Operators select from multiple operating modes and adjust compression to match product fragility. The unit integrates at packing stations and can connect to FROMM’s SmartFill scanner for automated volume control and precise dispensing.

Typical applications

The Paperpad void-fill is ideal for retailers, distribution centres and manufacturers handling fragile items such as glassware, electronics and medical supplies. The crumpled pads are easy to flatten for a better unboxing experience and reduce the need for bulky loose-fill materials in warehouses.
