Why a Battery Strapping Tool Can Significantly Reduce Your Cargo Securing Cost?

In today’s logistics and manufacturing environment, end-of-line packaging efficiency directly affects operating costs, labor health, and shipment safety.
However, many factories and warehouses are still using manual strapping tools with metal buckles—a method that is not only inefficient, but also costly in the long run.

In this article, we explain how a battery strapping tool helps you save money when securing cargo, using real consumption calculations and practical comparisons.

Traditional Manual Strapping: Hidden Costs You May Ignore

Manual strapping tools usually rely on:

• Steel or metal buckles

• Manual tensioning and sealing

• High labor intensity and time consumption

Although the initial investment looks low, the hidden costs add up quickly:

• Continuous purchase of metal buckles

• Slower packing speed

• Higher labor fatigue and injury risk

• Inconsistent strap tension, affecting cargo safety

How a Battery Strapping Tool Saves Cost

A battery-powered strapping tool uses friction weld sealing, eliminating the need for metal buckles completely. This single change already brings a clear cost advantage.

Example Calculation (PET Strap)

• PET strap width: 16 mm

• PET strap thickness: 0.8 mm

• Strap weight: 1 ton

• Pallet size: 1.2 m × 1.2 m

• Straps per pallet: 4 straps

Strap Length Calculation:

• 1 roll = 1,250 meters

• 1 ton = 50 rolls

• Total strap length:
  50 × 1,250 m = 62,500 meters

Cost of Metal Buckles (Manual Method)

• Metal buckle unit price: ¥0.1 per piece

• Each strapping point requires 1 buckle

When consuming 1 ton of PET strap, the cost of metal buckles alone reaches:
