Backpack Sprayer Straps

Posted by Andy Harrold on March 11, 2016 at 10:55am in Machinery
I've got a Chapin Pro Chapin 61800 Series backpack sprayer. The shoulder straps have started to fall to bits. For a professional sprayer I'm quite surprised at the lack of quality and comfort of the straps, however I thought it would just be an easy Google search to obtain a replacement set. Unfortunately replacement straps seem to be lacking availability in the UK, for what seems nearly every maker. Has anyone got a supplier of straps, or know a work around that I can fit some other form of strap? Seems that for a £10-15 part I'm basically going to have to buy a new sprayer to replace one that's only a year old.

    If you look on Ebay under "webbing strapping" , you'll find a huge selection of suitable materials to make yourself some new straps at a fraction of the cost of the "genuine" ones.  I've an old CP sprayer and couldn't find replacement straps and this worked great. All different widths/lengths/materials and colours + very cheap.

    Not very good - it seems largely to be sold in the USA -  try googling 'harness' ? We have our (genuine!) CP2000 straps listed under harness ( maybe we should say straps too...?)

    It would be worth checking out these guys (also LJN members) http://dmmp.co.uk/

    I was impressed with them when I had an issue with the pressure on my Chapin Pro so I sent them a general inquiry and within two days received a complete seal kit and O rings etc FOC, totally unexpected and was blown away by their customer service.
