1. A strapping device comprising:
a tensioner operable to tension a strap;
a strap connector operable to connect two areas of the strap to one another, the strap connector movable from a rest position downward to a connecting position and from the connecting position upward to the rest position;
a transfer device operably connected to the strap connector to move the strap connector from the rest position downward to the connecting position;
a motor comprising a motor shaft, the motor operably connectable to the tensioner, the strap connector, and the transfer device at least in part via the motor shaft; and
a control device configured to control the motor to rotate the motor shaft in a first direction to cause the transfer device to move the strap connector from the rest position downward to the connecting position and to cause the strap connector to operate and in a second direction opposite the first direction to cause the tensioner to rotate, wherein the transfer device comprises a first arm pivotable between a first position and a second position and a second arm pivotable between a third position and a fourth position.
