Automatic Rebar Tier

Five to eight seconds: that’s how long it takes to complete one tie by hand when using wire and pliers. Eight seconds might sound fast enough, but when you multiply that across a commercial deck that requires thousands of intersections and factor in the loss of pace caused by worker fatigue, those few seconds stretch into hours of expensive, back-breaking labour.

Automatic rebar tiers by RAPIDTOOL can dramatically speed up the work, completing ties in under a second (up to 8 times faster than manual tying, in most cases).

Manual hand tying Automatic tying with RAPIDTOOL WRAPTOR rebar tier
Speed per tie Typically 5 to 8+ seconds Under 0.5 seconds
Daily production Productivity typically decreases over the course of the day due to fatigue Consistently high productivity throughout the workday
Labour output More labour typically required on larger pours One operator can complete the work significantly faster, helping reduce labour requirements
Physical strain Higher risk of fatigue and repetitive strain from manual tying Ergonomic single-handed operation designed to reduce operator fatigue

As you can see, in the right conditions, a RAPIDTOOL automatic tier can:

  • Save time – increase fixing speed by up to 8 times!!
  • Save money – reduce total fixing costs by up to 75%!!
  • All while operating in a smarter, safer way!!
