How to Avoid Wrist and Shoulder Pain When Strapping Packages

If your warehouse team complains about wrist or shoulder pain, it’s usually because of repetitive motion.

Here’s what helps:

Use electric tensioning instead of manual

Manual tools require a lot of upper-body force.

Take a 30-second break every 20–30 boxes

Shake your hands, loosen shoulders.

Adjust table height

If you strap too low, your back suffers.

Use gloves with grip

Less slipping = less strain.

Healthy workers = higher efficiency.

On a fixed packing bench, a tabletop machine like the RCV3 takes the tensioning out of your hands entirely.
