Overall, the trend has been observed for several years that steel strapping is gradually being replaced by PET strapping. In the automotive sector in particular, more and more emphasis is being placed on sustainability. For the sake of sustainability, strapping made from 100% recycled PET or even from 100% natural raw materials, such as corn starch, will most likely play an increasingly important role in the future.

Especially in the area of CKD export (Completely Knocked Down), work is especially done with strong and tear-resistant PET strapping in order to secure individual vehicle parts and subassemblies on the load carrier, such as body parts, axles or engine blocks. PET strapping in fully automatic machine quality, such as our PET1690 HQ, and with a very high sealing strength, is particularly in demand here.
In the case of particularly heavy and sharp-edged components, it is recommended to use PET strapping or, in some cases, steel strapping, while spring systems are strapped with PP tape for example. Smooth PET tape has a higher breaking load than ribbed tape. The greater the width and thickness of the PET tape, the higher the breaking load. We can supply you with the appropriate strapping depending on your individual requirements.
The use of battery-powered strapping tools, such as the Survivor LST252 or LST404, is particularly suitable for quick and easy handling for components that are packaged in cardboard boxes, such as transmission parts, car seats or fittings. For example, if steel strapping is used, then the MUL-16 or the MUL-20 can be used, depending on the strapping width.
Depending on the company size, the entire LINDER strapping machine product range can be used in the automotive industry. A semi-automatic (Basic/Comfort) or automatic strapping machine (Performance+ with broadband), for example, could be of interest for suppliers. A fully automatic strapping system (also a high-performance machine) may be of interest to a medium to large automotive supplier with a high strapping volume. Here, LINDER can supply a driven roller conveyor, a fully automatic strapping machine for your packaged goods, a fully automatic pallet strapper and / or stretch winder. The strapping secures the package or the goods on the pallet. If the packaged goods are also to be protected against dust, dirt or moisture, for example to prevent corrosion, then the goods can be wrapped with a stretch winder, a wrapping robot or a fully automatic solution.
For the occasional strapping of small components, the Basic model is very often used by suppliers in the automotive sector. The Performance+ model is recommended as a strapping machine for typical spare parts storage.
A special development for the tyre industry is our semi-automatic strapping machine TyreStrap! This has an annular recess in the work table so that tyres and rims can be straightened by eye. A side unit for easy handling is also available.
Challenge us! We would be glad to offer you a fully automatic solution for pallet strapping that is tailor-made to meet your needs.
For the transport of vehicle parts or already mounted cars in containers, LINDER supplies lashing straps with stay fasteners, container lashing and the associated lashing strap tensioning devices from our excellent assortment of load-securing products. Our lashing straps are certified by Germanischer Lloyd. We are happy to send you the certificate. Container seals are also available to seal the valuable cargo. LINDER has also established itself here as a partner of numerous export packers due to the proximity to the port of Hamburg and has continuously developed products for load securing in containers.
Lashing straps can also be useful for securing a vehicle in the container, but they are primarily used for form-fitting securing in non-certified trailers or if a trailer has insufficient structural strength. In order to prevent a slipping of vehicle chassis, engine parts or pallets on a trailer, anti-slip mats are used as pads (rubber pads) or roller goods (slide mats on rollers), which can then be individually cut. Painted surfaces require special protection, which is why the use of edge protection corners and strips is particularly suitable in the automotive sector.
