Manual Strapping Tools: Find the Right FROMM Model for Every Load
Choosing the right equipment can make load securing faster, safer and more consistent. FROMM offers a broad selection of manual strapping tools for both plastic and steel strap, giving warehouses, workshops and industrial operations practical options for different loads and working environments.
Plastic options for everyday efficiency
For PP and PET applications, the P403 and P404 are designed to tension, seal and cut in one operation. Both use serrated seals and are suited to flat packages, crates and palletised goods. Their straightforward design makes these manual tools a useful choice where portability, simplicity and moderate volumes are priorities.

Steel options for demanding loads
Steel strap is well suited to rigid, heavy or high-density products. FROMM’s manual range includes models for flat objects and models for round surfaces:
- A301/A412 – seal-type models for flat loads, offering a practical solution where sealed joints are required.
- A332 – a sealless model for flat goods, providing a uniform joint without a separate seal.
- A333 – another sealless flat-load option, combining robust construction with straightforward operation.
- A334 – designed for flat applications where dependable steel strap tensioning and joining are required.
- A335 – a sealless option for flat goods, suited to users seeking a durable, service-friendly design.
- A337 – a further flat-load model in FROMM’s sealless range for dependable industrial use.
- A338 – a robust sealless choice for flat applications requiring secure joining.
- A402/A412 – seal-type equipment for round objects, useful where the package profile requires a curved application.
- A431 – a seal-type model intended for round objects, offering a practical option for cylindrical or curved loads.
Why the right model matters
FROMM’s steel range is designed around application requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Manual steel models are particularly suitable for flat goods and smaller surfaces, while the sealless joint used by several models can provide a uniform, strong connection and help reduce seal-related costs.
For plastic strap, the P403 and P404 provide a compact approach for lighter-duty packaging tasks. Selecting the correct device should take account of strap material, package shape, strap dimensions and expected workload.

These strapping systems give operators control, while suitable tools help maintain consistent tension and secure loads. Matching strapping to the application helps tools perform reliably across varied production environments. Strapping performance therefore depends on selecting equipment suited to the specific load.
