Time Bandit said it has created a product that will help reduce the risk of injury, relieve work stress and increase productivity for drivers. The Time Bandit Electric Cargo Strap Winder can roll up a strap in about nine seconds, the company said, adding that this helps eliminate time wasted that could have been better spent transporting loads.
According to the maker, factors such as the rising cost of diesel (average price of $4/gallon), mounting DOT regulations and stringent and time-consuming inspections alone make the Time Bandit well worth the investment. The company also noted its product reduces costs related to the improper storage of straps, resulting in excessive deterioration, which causes the risk of unsecured loads, accidents, insurance claims and repeated strap purchases.
