Quicker and safer ratchet strap winding

The Norwegian company Kapilar AS developed the simple and efficient tool for quick and easy ratchet strap winding. The DrumRoll is patent approved and Kapilar AS is now looking for distributors, resellers or other business partners.

The DrumRoll saves time by rolling up straps quickly, and by always rolling up straps with the hook on the outside, it makes it safe and easy to throw the strap over the load. By making strap winding easier it will also help keeping tidier surroundings. By rolling up the strap without touching it, it also keeps the hands and vehicle clean.

As the strap is removed from the DrumRoll after it has been rolled up, one DrumRoll is enough for all the straps. 

By leaving the last strap inside the DrumRoll when finished, the DrumRoll takes up minimum of storage space. Two types have been developed. A larger 50mm (2”) version designed for industrial straps used by truck drivers, farmers and warehouse workers.

The DrumRoll consists of only two injection molded parts, and can be used to roll up straps in both directions and can also be used by left-handed. There is no assembly necessary and no training needed to get started.

Loyd Arve Nornes, the inventor of DrumRoll, got the idea for the product in November 2015. By the aid of a 3D printed prototype the first distributor was signed. To get the sole right for the product in Scandinavia, Åkrehamn Trålbøteri AS bought 10 000 pcs. These have now been produced, and are now on their way to the market in Scandinavia. The feedback from the first stores is the DrumRolls are selling good and the customers find the product very efficient and easy to use.

As ratchets straps, and the problems DrumRoll solves, are found all over the world, Kapilar AS is now looking for partners to get this simple and efficient tool out to the people that needs it. Kapilar AS is open to any business cooperation, and wants to be contacted by resellers, distributors or possible licensees.
