Reasons Why You Need a Sweed Strapping Chopper for Your Warehouse

Why Would You Want a Strapping Chopper?

Why are Strapping Choppers a smart investment for Your Business?

More Efficient Use of Space

Are your waste bins often filled with air mixed with pallet strapping? Strapping take up significant space and make waste management inefficient. Our Strapping Choppers reduce strapping volume to up to 1/30yj of their original size, allowing you to maximise waste storage capacity. This results in a tidier workplace, fewer bin lifts and lower waste processing costs.

A Safer and Cleaner Working Environment

Sweed Strapping Choppers are designed with safety as a priority. By processing pallet strapping immediately, you prevent waste accumulation and ensure a well-organised, safer workspace for your employees.

A Sustainable and Eco-friendly Solution

Sustainability is an essential part of modern business operations. Our Strapping Choppers not only reduce waste but also contribute to a circular economy. the chopped-up pallet strapping is reused as raw materials for new applications, allowing your business to actively participate in environmentally responsible waste management.

Why Would You NOT Want a Strapping Chopper?!

It's possible you're already thinking of arguments against getting a Sweed Strapping Chopper!

We've been doing it this way for years, and it works just fine.

We used to deliver orders by horse-and-cart too! have you ever considered how much space a container full of pallet strapping takes up? That same spot could be used for valuable inventory instead of continuing to be an unsightly, inefficient mess on your shop floor!

I don't want to pay somebody to stand next to the Chopper just feeding in strapping.

Fair enough! So you'll carry on paying that same person to throw the pallet strapping into a bin ... and even more people to keep your yard and warehouse tidy. In the long run, that'll cost you far more!

We don't have enough pallet strapping to justify a Strapping Chopper

This is the most common excuse we hear ... from customers who ultimately buy one anyway. Many businesses underestimate how much pallet strapping they process or discard each year. Once they start using a Strapping Chopper, they realise how much space, time and money they save.

We can't afford a machine like that.

But you can afford to pay someone to dispose of your pallet strapping ... or worse, pay bin charges to send plastic pallet strapping to landfill. You can afford a messy workshop floor, scattered with loose strips of strapping ... along with the risk of injury they'll cause. You can afford to continually replace forklift tyres that keep getting punctured from sharp metal strapping or buckles lying around. Are you sure that's really cheaper?

My scrap dealer picks it up for free, so I don't need to worry about it.

Of course they'll pick it up for free ... and sometimes they'll even charge you for picking it up. Every kilo is pure profit for them - because they'll chop it up with a Sweed Strapping Chopper themselves and resell it at a higher price. Do you not want that benefit yourself?

If you use metal banding, you'll notice how quickly waste bins fill up when taking loose banding - there's an awful lot of air between them! Once chopped, the volume taken up  shrinks by 20 times, making transportation much more efficient. That means fewer unnecessary trips, lower costs and a reduced Carbon Footprint.

Do you use plastic pallet strapping? Stop harming the environment! Plastic strapping dumped in nature or landfill will still be there 100 years from now, while burning them releases toxic chemicals. A much better approach is to shred them so that they can be recycled into car bumpers, flower pots, or even new pallet strapping ... keeping the circular cycle going.
