CARGO BUCKLE

CARGO BUCKLE About

A GI wire buckle refers to a simple, manually crafted buckle made from Galvanized Iron (GI) wire, commonly used in strapping or binding applications such as packaging, bundling, and securing goods, especially in industrial and agricultural settings.

Key Characteristics:

• Material: Made from galvanized iron wire, which is coated with zinc to resist rust and corrosion.

• Shape: Typically bent into a square or rectangular shape, with loops or hooks to allow a strap or wire to pass through and lock in place.

• Function: Acts as a tensioner and fastener when used with cord strapping or plastic straps. The strap is looped through the buckle and pulled tight, and the wires friction and pressure hold it securely.

Common Uses:

• Securing cargo for shipping and transportation.

• Agricultural packaging, like bundling hay or plant material.

• Construction for holding items in place temporarily.

• Often used with composite cord strapping, a polyester-based alternative to steel strapping.
