Handheld cordless strapping machine suitable for transport strapping of pallets and larger items with polypropylene (PP) or polyester (PET) strapping tape in places where mains power cannot be used. The strapping machine is suitable for operations with medium to high packaging capacities and is also suitable for mobile use without mains power (halls, courtyards, etc.). This type of strapping machine is equipped with manual tightening and automatic strap welding. Its main advantages are its infinitely adjustable tightening force and its mobile use. A battery and charger are included. Another advantage is the easy operation of the machine - the operator guides the tape around the item to be wrapped and inserts it into the taping slot. Using the tension lever, the tape is manually tightened and at the push of a button the motor friction welds the tape.
