From Beck, better crate fasteners

New coarse thread crating Scrail fasteners are the latest innovation from the BECK Fastener Group, designed to help crate manufacturers save labor costs while improving quality and customer satisfaction.

Like BECK’s other Scrail products, crating Scrail fasteners are a combination of a nail and a screw - threaded collated fasteners for installation with a pneumatic nail gun tool.

The company points to a number of features:

• Coarse threads ensure easier and more consistent removal for dismantling crates, and are especially well suited to crates constructed of soft wood varieties;

• Use of plastic rope for collation makes it safer, since there is no wire flagging around the heads or sticking underneath them;

• Plastic rope collation also retains its coil shape better than wire, which means coils can be reused if dropped, eliminating waste; and

• These fasteners can be used in most common 15° wire coil nailers on the market, so there are no special tools required.

"We are excited to offer a Scrail product specific to the needs of crating manufacturers,” Brett McCutcheon, general manager of Fasco America, master distributor for the BECK Fastener Group. “We took our successful Scrail product and added features to create these coarse thread crating Scrail, which allows crating manufacturers to more effectively and efficiently build and dismantle crates.”
