Metal Strapping

Bundle your heaviest shipments on pallets or in crates—this metal strapping handles more force than plastic strapping. As your shipment is moved, this strapping won't stretch or break, keeping your items tightly bundled. A wax or oil coating makes tensioning smoother and prevents the strapping from getting caught around your material's corners. The edges on this strapping are smooth for safe handling.

Note: To match strapping with compatible accessories, choose items for use with the same strapping group number. Strapping tensioners, seals, kits, and dispensers are sold separately.

Standard Coil—Solid

Standard Coil

Solid Strapping

Solid strapping is stronger than punched strapping.

Painted Low-Carbon Steel—Low-carbon steel will work for most heavy loads that will be stored indoors.

Painted High-Carbon Steel—High-carbon steel strapping is heat treated, making it our strongest and least likely to snap from sudden impact or jolts.

Zinc-Plated High-Carbon Steel—Zinc plating requires more friction to wear away than a painted finish, so it protects against rusting longer.

302 Stainless Steel—302 stainless steel strapping is the most corrosion resistant, so it's best for shipments that will be left outdoors for extended periods.

Standard Coil—Punched


Standard Coil	Punched Strapping

Punched strapping has holes that make it more flexible than solid strapping, so it conforms to irregularly shaped items better.

Light Duty Metal Strapping

Use this strapping for securing pipe coverings as well as for packaging. Metal strapping is strong and will not stretch when wrapped around objects. The coil is wound like a roll of tape. To install, cut the strapping to your desired length with wire cutters, feed it through a buckle, and tighten.

Note: To match with compatible strapping accessories, choose items for use with the same material and strapping group number.

Mini Coil—Solid

Aluminum—Aluminum is lightweight and corrosion resistant. Tension it by hand or with a tensioner.

304 Stainless Steel—304 stainless steel is more corrosion resistant than aluminum but is not as corrosion resistant as 316 stainless steel.

Choose-a-Color Metal Strapping

Red for perishable goods, green for rush delivery, orange for hazards—create your own color-coding system with this vibrant strapping. Use it to prevent mix-ups with shipments and make pallets easy to spot. Unlike most metal strapping, the edges are rounded, so it’s safer to handle and less likely to slice into cardboard and other soft material. You'll need a tensioner to tighten the strapping and a seal to secure it.

Note: Strapping tensioners, seals, kits, and dispensers are sold separately.

201 Stainless Steel—Made of plastic-coated 201 stainless steel, this strapping combines the strength of metal with the weather resistance of plastic. It won’t stretch or snap from heavy loads or weaken from rust when exposed to rain, snow, or humidity. The colored plastic won’t chip off or fade.

Drum Slings

Image of Specification. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Near-Vertical Drum.

Lift heavy drums without risking injuries and chemical spills. These slings are cost-effective compared to drum lifters, but you may need an extra person to guide loads since drums can sway.

Vertical Lift


Style A	Style B	Style C

Move upright drums on and off pallets and trucks.

Steel Hooks—Your go-to for most jobs, the steel hooks lift drums by their rims.

Steel Clamps—Two spring-loaded clamps snap onto the drum rim and hold tight, so your drum won’t slip from jolts and sudden stops. Although they're more secure than hook grips, they can dent your drums.

Polyester Straps—Wrap around drums to move them without causing dents. These slings also lift damaged drums that hooks won’t grip tight.

Aluminum-Bronze Hooks—Prevent sparks when hooks scrape against metal drums in locations with combustible vapors or residues. With 304 stainless steel legs, they won’t rust in damp and humid locations.

Iron Hooks—These hooks are reliable for most applications but are less corrosion-resistant than steel.

Style E	Style F

Load and unload drums onto stackable drum racks, drum dispensing stands, and drum mixers.

Lift drums at a slight tilt and lower them one edge at a time for smooth vertical and horizontal stacking. They also position drums at the optimal angle to drain contents. Use the end ring for near-vertical lifts, and switch to the center ring for horizontal handling.
