Zusammenfassung:	Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a press-type strapping machine with a platen-locking system, that, when in a locked configuration, prevents the platen from descending regardless of its vertical position. The strapping machine includes a machine frame; a load supporter configured to support and move the load; a platen configured to compress the load against the load supporter; and a platen-locking system including a ratchet wheel, a locking arm, and an actuator operably connected to the locking arm and configured to move the locking arm relative to the ratchet wheel from a locked position to an unlocked position. When the locking arm is in the locked position, the locking arm engages the ratchet wheel in a manner that prevents the platen from descending. When the locking arm is in the unlocked position, the locking arm is disengaged from the ratchet wheel such that the platen can descend.
