Fromm’s A383 is heavier and larger than its smaller counterpart, the A380, and surprisingly both are for use in the same industries. This tool from Fromm is ideal for flat packages and some objects that are difficult to strap. This tool is especially useful when using wide steel straps.
Sealless tools are more preferred and this could be a reason why this tool was designed and developed. Sealless tools are quickly overtaking metal seals which are cumbersome to use at times. The A383 is very useful for extreme climates and harsh conditions. This has proven to be very useful in the lumber, steel and aluminum industries, as they have a good use for bigger and stronger machines.

The A383 is developed as a two-button version. It pulls a high tension because of its huge size and is very durable. Also, the A383 can strap in fully automatic and semi-automatic modes. It also comes with four different tensioning levels in order to suit various applications.
Since this tool is sealless, many customers are happy to do away with the metal seals. They also feel that sealless tools are more cost-effective in that they can save up to 10% as they will be totally eliminating the cost of the seals from the budget. This has also helped increase their productivity experts say.
Another reason for this tool’s popularity is that it can pull over 3,300 lbs of tension that is many times more than that of other tools in the market. Since it is a heavy duty machine, it can also weather the elements. The A383 stands out from other tools because it can handle many types of applications. There is uniform tensioning in every package each time. This reduces strapping error and delivery damage.
There is a Micro Lock sealless system in A383 that adds great seal security. Due to its heavy weight of about 51 pounds, it is better to suspend this tool from a bracket for stationary applications.
