Frequently asked questions (FAQS) about Strapping Tools | Manual & Battery Powered Tensioners

What strapping tools are required to secure pallets?

To effectively secure pallets, you'll need a tensioner to tighten the strapping, a cutter to trim excess material, and a sealer to fasten the strap securely. For enhanced efficiency, AJ Products offers combination tools that integrate these functions, as well as battery-powered strapping machines suitable for high-volume operations. ​

Does AJ Products offer battery-powered strapping tools?

AJ Products provides battery-powered strapping machines designed for fast and consistent tensioning and sealing. These tools are ideal for high-volume environments, offering adjustable settings for sealing time and tension strength. They are compatible with PET and PP bands ranging from 13 to 16 mm in width. ​

Are manual tensioners suitable for smaller operations?

Absolutely. Manual strapping tools are cost-effective, user-friendly, and well-suited for smaller packaging lines or mobile workspaces. We provide manual banding units compatible with WG and PP bands between 9 to 19 mm in width, facilitating easy tensioning and sealing without the need for power. ​

Can AJ Products' strapping tools accommodate different types of banding?

We offer strapping tools compatible with various banding materials. For instance, the manual banding unit is suitable for WG and PP bands, while the battery-powered strapping machine works with PET and PP bands. Each product page provides detailed compatibility information to help you select the appropriate tool for your specific needs.

Different Types of Strapping Tools for Faster, Safer Packing

Choosing the right tensioner depends on your workload and application. Manual tensioners are ideal for low-volume packaging tasks or occasional use. Easy to operate and lightweight, they’re great for smaller warehouses, loading areas or workshops. For faster-paced operations, our battery-powered strapping tools are a real time-saver. These models allow operators to tension, seal and cut the strap at the press of a button, making them ideal for large-scale packing zones where speed and repeatability matter. Both options offer control, consistency and less physical effort.

Steel Tensioners That Withstand Heavy Loads

Heavy pallets, awkward loads or industrial products require tools that can handle high tension without compromising safety. Our steel tensioners are built for just that. They’re tough, dependable, and designed for use with steel strapping, making them ideal for construction materials, machinery, metal stock, or timber. These tools hold up under intense use, delivering tight, secure strapping that doesn’t shift in storage or transport. Perfect for manufacturing, warehousing or export packing where every load needs to stay locked in place.

Battery-Powered Strapping Tools & Automatic Tensioners for Everyday Use

For warehouse teams doing repetitive strapping all day, comfort and efficiency go hand in hand. Our battery-operated tensioners and electric strapping tools are engineered with ergonomics in mind. Lightweight builds, contoured grips, and balanced designs make them easier on hands and wrists. They reduce fatigue and speed up packaging, all while delivering strong, consistent results. Add an adjustable-height packing bench to further improve posture and reach, creating a safer, more productive packing zone.
