Stop Losing Hours
to Coil Changes.
The FROMM HAJ13 Mega Jumbo Dispenser holds 4 super jumbo PET coils up to 180,000 ft of strapping on a single pallet. One forklift drop. Zero chain hoists. 75% less changeover time.
Your Standard Dispenser Is Costing You More Than You Think
8 min per coil change
Standard dispensers need a skilled operator, a replacement coil staged nearby, and 8 minutes every changeover. At scale, that's hundreds of hours per year.
Injury risk with vertical loading
Traditional vertical dispensers require a chain hoist to lift 350 lb coils. Every changeover is an injury risk — and a liability. WSIB claims are expensive.
Warehouse space wasted
Standard coils ship 2 per pallet, non-stackable and fragile. Mega Jumbo ships 3–4 coils per pallet, fully stackable — freeing significant floor and rack space.
Machines stop too often
With standard coils, you stop your strapper up to 45 times per Mega Jumbo equivalent load. Every stop = idle line, idle operators, and lost throughput.
FROMM HAJ13 : Engineered for High Volume Operations
The HAJ13 (Horizontal Automated Jumbo) dispenser places super jumbo coils flat on a motorized turntable. Load the entire pallet with a forklift. The PLC controlled system feeds strap precisely to your strapping machine — no manual intervention required.
- ✓ Horizontal loading by forklift
- ✓ Carries 4 coils × 660 lbs (180,000 ft total) per load
- ✓ PLC-controlled turntable with intelligent brake system
- ✓ Alarms signal when strap needs changing
- ✓ Left or right hand loading configurable
- ✓ Compatible with steel and PET strapping
- ✓ Stand-alone or integrated into existing systems

Built for High Volume Canadian Industries
Lumber & Building Materials
High-frequency strapping on heavy, non-compressible loads. PET outperforms steel lighter, stronger, no corrosion.
Manufacturing & Steel
Continuous production lines need continuous strap supply. Eliminate micro-stoppages with 180K ft per load.
Distribution & Logistics
High-volume pallet strapping operations benefit from maximum coil size and minimal operator involvement.
Food & Consumer Goods
Safe-to-handle PET with consistent tension retention which is ideal for loads that shift in temperature-controlled transit.
Paper & Pulp
Large coil sizes support the long production runs common in paper mills across Ontario, Quebec, and BC.
Automotive & Metal Parts
Withstands high tension requirements. Compatible with existing semi-automatic and automatic strapping heads.
$18,340 Saved in Year One — Labour Alone
A FROMM client processing 6,874 coils per year previously spent 917 hours annually on coil changeovers. At $20/hr, that was $18,340 in labour,just for swapping coils.
After switching to the FROMM Super Jumbo dispenser, changeover time dropped by 75% down to just 226 hours per year. The system paid for itself within months.
FROMM, 75+ Years of Strapping Innovation
4 Global PET Production Facilities
FROMM manufactures its own STARstrap™ PET at four owned facilities worldwide, ensuring consistent quality and supply chain reliability.
Virtually Maintenance-Free Design
Durable industrial construction minimizes lubricant use and maintenance intervals. Components are designed for disassembly and recycling.
PET: The Sustainable Choice
Made from first-class recycled PET (bottle grade). Lighter than steel, no corrosion risk, lower CO₂ per delivery. Preferred in 90%+ of new Canadian strapping projects.
