Improve Safety and Productivity 1000LB Steel Strapping Coils Make Sense. Reduce the employee's coil handling exposure to injury and risk. SAFETY The use of 1000LB coils of strapping as opposed to 100LB or 60LB coils will reduce the employee's exposure to injury or risk by 90% to 94%. Every time a coil of steel strapping is handled the operator is exposed to the potential risk of strained muscles, crushed, lacerated or severed digits. The most frequent cause of claims are manual material handling claims (overexertion, strain or injuries caused by excessive lifting, pulling, pushing, holding, carrying, or throwing an object). Collectively, these claims make up about one-third of all claims; thirty percent of the lost wages and the average cost per claim is around $5,000. There are many costs to an employer associated with workplace injuries. Insured costs include insurance premiums, health care, disability, and property damage, as well as worker's compensation. But there are many hidden costs which contribute to the total cost of an accident resulting in injury, including wages paid for lost time, decreased productivity of an injured worker, damage to equipment, cost of processing time to investigate injuries, uninsured medical coverage, hiring and training of a new worker if necessary, and time spent on activity concerning the accident itself.

Improve Safety and Productivity 1000LB Steel Strapping Coils Make Sense. Reduce the coil handling labor requirements and associated down time. PRODUCTIVITY The use of 1000LB coils of strapping material requires 90%-94% fewer coil changes and provides a proportional increase in production uptime. For a company that consumes 6000LBS of steel strap each month and conservatively figuring approximately 10 minutes for each coil change, you will save 9 to 15-1/2 hours of labor every month or approximately 2-1/2 to 4-1/2 weeks of labor time and proportionately improve production uptime each year depending on the your current coil configuration (100LB or 60LB). 100LBS Oscillated Wound Coil 6000LBS per month /100LB per coil = 60 coils per month x 10min per coil = 600min/60 = 10hrs per month to change coils x 12 months = 120 hours (three weeks) per year to change coils/production downtime. 60LBS Ribbon Wound Coil 6000LBS per month /60LBS per coil = 100 coils per month x 10min per coil = 1000min/60 = 16.6hrs per month to change coils x 12 months = 200 hours (five weeks) per year to change coils/production downtime. 1000LBS Jumbo Coil 6000LBS per month /1000LB per coil = 6 coils per month x 10min per coil = 60min/60 = 1hrs per month to change coils x 12 months = only 12 hours per year to change coils/production downtime. The features of the Model 455 Dispenser, coupled with the optional model "456" Skid Truck, truly make strap coil changes, more ergonomically safe and increase the overall uptime of associated production equipment and or related processes.
