How Much Time Can an Automatic Rebar Tier Save on Site?

 

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!!

 

Choose the right tier for the job

RAPIDTOOL's world-class lineup of automatic rebar tiers is designed for fast tie speeds, with long battery runtime, so the tying run isn't constantly interrupted by battery changes. You can also choose from tool options to match different tying diameters and site conditions. Check out:

·       WRAPTOR WRAP-44 for fast tying across a 12–44mm tie diameter range

·       RT-40A for when you need a 12–40mm rebar tier with fast tie speeds

·       RT-60A for larger 30–60mm tie diameters on commercial and civil jobs

 

Need to tie mesh without bending over all day? The RT-EXA Electronic Extension Arm lets operators control compatible RT-series rebar tiers from a standing position.
