(54) Mobile strapping machine, for horizontal and vertical strapping of crates onto pallets or loading platforms


(57) Mobile strapping machine, for horizontal and vertical strapping of crates onto pallets or loading platforms, which comprises a mobile carriage (1) made up by a frame (2) resting on revolving wheels (3); a column (4) fixed to the frame (2); a coil (5) joined to the column (4) around which a plastic strap is wound; and a strapping head (6) joined to the column (4) which can slide vertically in both directions, suitable for feeding, tensioning, soldering and cutting the strap for each strapping operation, which is characterized in that the strapping head (6) is fitted with rotating means (8) which enable the strapping head (6) to turn in both directions between two fixed positions situated at a 90° angle from one another; and because it comprises a strapping arm (11) positioned below the frame (2) of the carriage (1), which can extend a considerable distance horizontally so that, for vertical strapping, it is positioned between supports of the pallet or loading platform, with the outer end protruding from the side of the pallet or loading platform opposite that facing the strapping head (6).
