Pushing 7500N of tension—that's about 765kg of force—on composite straps up to 40mm wide, and it does it at three different speeds, which is pretty much what you need if you're bundling heavy loads in logistics or metal processing, but it's a bit overkill for light-duty cardboard boxes or retail packaging, honestly.
We've been using this BCT40 model for a few months now in our own warehouse, and the brushless motor is a significant upgrade—no brushes to wear out, and the 18V 4.0Ah battery runs through about 50 straps or so on a single charge at the highest speed setting, though if you're on low speed, you'll get more like 80-90 cycles before it needs a recharge.
It handles cordstrap, composite polyester, and woven straps (we've tested it with all three), but what you really want to know is that high-speed steel blade cuts cleanly through even the 1.6mm thick matrial without leaving frayed edges—that's a detail most buyers don't ask about but they'll notice when their bundles look profesional, and the 3.8kg weight makes it manageable for all-day use without being too heavy.
Tension force is adjustable (roughly form 1500N up to 7500N) via three speed settings on the trigger, so you can dial it in for lighter loads like paper rolls and avoid crushing them, but for composite strapping, stay at the higher end; the 1-year limited teh tool, not the battery, and we usually have stock but confirm lead time if you need more than 20 units.
One thing—the system is high-speed steel blade, and it's replaceable, but it's not designed for metal straps, so don't try it on steel banding; also, the 3-speed adjustment is actually a tension force limiter, not a speed selector per se, which is a nuance that can trip up new users until they figure it out.
We typically require a MOQ of 5 units for first-time orders, but we can discuss smaller quantities if you're testing the tool for your operation.
The 18V 4.0Ah battery and charger are included in the package, so you're ready to go right out of the box.
Yes, it works with cordstrap, composite polyester, and woven straps—just make sure they're within the 25-40mm width and 0.8-1.6mm thickness range.
We supply a CE certificate and a full test report for each batch. The tool also comes with a 1-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects.
Under continuous tensioning at max force, the 4.0Ah battery lasts about 200-250 straps, depending on strap tension and speed settings. You can also adjust the three speed levels to save power.
