Location: Sheffield UK
Basingstoke based Gordian
Strapping; one of the UK’s
leading end of line specialists in
package and pallet securement
have provided a system solution
for Sheffied based timber
merchants, McClure Timber
Supplies – the integration of
a tall pallet stretch hooder
fitted on to the end of their
packaging line facility.
Standing 6300mm from the floor, it is the
tallest OMS manufactured stretch hooding
machine in the UK.

Pack security and presentation issues
were problems that McClure faced and,
with space at a premium, a high level of
engineering knowledge and ingenuity were
required to find a solution that met the
clients’ needs with a minimum of fuss
and down-time.
The team at Gordian Strapping fitted an
OMS manufactured IS43 off the conveyor
centre line because of space restrictions
and incorporated a specially designed
shuttle conveyor to enable the packages to
be positioned correctly for hooding. The
benefits were many; greater pack security
with the product now secured firmly to the
pallet, no sideways movement in transport,
the ability to hood packs in line straight after
the baler, improved visible pack presentation
and ultimately less returns and less damage
as the pack remains in exactly the same
condition it leaves McClure’s.
McClure’s Owner and Managing Director,
Richard McClure feels the solution has been
a real boon to his company and has been
highly impressed with Gordian Strapping
all-round – “I wanted a company who
had the engineering ability, could provide
reliable equipment and offer a service which
could achieve our desired result. Gordian
Strapping more than met our expectations
and delivered the best possible outcome”.
