Drawbacks of steel strapping
The advantages of hot dip galvanizing means that the process is protecting an ever-wider range of steel products globally, with nearly 100 million tons of HDG steel produced every year. Traditionally, steel strap has been used as the securing method for outbound loads from HDG plants.
However, steel strapping has its drawbacks:
- Galvanized products are extremely hard on expensive steel strapping tooling
- Steel straps can scratch or damage freshly galvanized products
- Operator injuries from steel strapping are a frequent concern
Stronger than steel strapping solution
