MBT straps feature a patented ball lock system that allows the strap to be locked at any point along its length. They are available in both 316 and 304 stainless steel. MBT straps are typically used in difficult conditions or where special resistance to chemicals, fire, temperature, or high tensile strength is required. They are used in all branches of industry, from mass transportation and shipbuilding to refineries, mining, and exhibition installations. Metal straps are also used to secure cables and wires from falling and blocking evacuation routes in the event of a fire.
