FAQs
What types of strapping can I use with the PD40?
This dispenser is compatible with most standard polypropylene and polyester hand strapping reels.
Does this unit include a strapping cutter?
No, the PD40 is a mobile storage and dispensing unit and does not come with an integrated cutting tool.
Is the dispenser heavy to move?
Thanks to the tubular steel construction, the unit is robust but remains lightweight enough to be moved comfortably by a single operator.
Can this be used outdoors?
While it can be used on solid outdoor surfaces, it is designed primarily for indoor warehouse environments; store it inside when not in use to prevent rust.
How do I secure the coil onto the spindle?
Slide the coil onto the spindle and ensure any included locking collars or discs are pushed firmly against the coil to prevent lateral movement.
Troubleshooting
Strapping reel wobbles on the spindle
Check that the reel is centered and that any side retaining discs are properly tightened against the core of the coil.
Dispenser feels unstable when moving
Ensure all base mounting bolts are fully tightened and check that the floor surface is level and free of large debris.
Wheels are not rolling smoothly
Inspect the wheel housing for built-up packing material or tape residue. Remove any obstructions and lubricate the axle if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the PD40, ensure all bolts are tightened securely during initial assembly. Slide your chosen polypropylene or polyester strapping reel onto the central spindle, ensuring it is locked into place to prevent it from sliding off during use.
Regarding compatibility, this unit is designed strictly for hand-strapping coils. It is not suitable for heavy-duty machine-grade coils that exceed the spindle's diameter or weight capacity. To care for your dispenser, periodically wipe the frame down with a dry cloth to remove debris and dust. Inspect the wheels monthly to ensure they remain free of packing tape or debris that could inhibit smooth movement. If the wheels begin to squeak or feel stiff, apply a small amount of industrial lubricant to the axles.
