Metal strap for hives 4.5 m x 16 mm

What is it for and why is it useful?

Whether you work with horizontal Layens hives or vertical Langstroth setups with supers, this strap allows you to firmly bind and secure the entire hive body (brood chamber, supers, lid, and bottom). The metal ratchet system provides strong and precise tension, keeping everything stable when using a pallet jack, forklift, or during transport.

It's also very handy for keeping hives secured outdoors in case of bad weather or strong winds, or for stacking empty hives safely in the warehouse.

Real-world advantages for beekeepers:

• Prevents accidental movement or opening, which could lead to misalignment or bee crushing during transport.
• Preserves the structural integrity of the hive, especially on long journeys or bumpy roads.
• Compatible with all common hive types: Langstroth, Layens, Dadant Blatt… even polystyrene nucs.
• Made of durable, weather-resistant materials: polyester strap with galvanized metal ratchet.
• Reusable season after season.

Technical specifications

The strap is 4.5 meters long, enough to wrap around full hives with supers, insulated lids, or even some pallet-based models. Its 16 mm width offers a good balance between strength and handling comfort. The closure system is a metal ratchet with a quick-release lever, designed to be tightened easily with one hand.

Made of durable polyester webbing and galvanized metal components, it's a reliable and robust tool for everyday beekeeping.
