| Turntable |
Low profile, Manual, Foot switch |
 |
- Same as Manpower (above)
- Addresses ergonomic and safety concerns of operator walking around loads
- Accommodates a loading ramp
- Forklift portable
- Uses standard 120 VAC outlets (move machine and plug in wherever is convenient)
- Negligible to minimal installation costs
|
- Same as Manpower (above)
- Load supporting turntable has maximum load weight limitations
- May not be suitable for unstable loads which cannot accommodate rotation
- Manual wrapping process requires operator full time
- Does not address ergonomic and safety concern of operator having to manually lift film roll
|
- Suitable for very low volume wrapping needs
|
| |
High profile, Manual, Foot switch |
 |
- More robust turntable support system should stand up to abuse better and require less maintenance
|
- Does not accommodate a loading ramp (i.e. fork truck loading only)
|
|
| |
Low profile, Manual, Non pre-stretch |
 |
- Address ergonomic and safety concern of operator manually lifting film roll
|
- Non pre-stretch film carriage limits possible stretch of film increasing cost of packaging per load
- Non pre-stretch film carriage creates sub-standard shipping package
|
|
| |
Low profile, Semi-automatic, Non pre-stretch |
 |
- Semi-automatic process frees operator from attending process full time
|
- Non pre-stretch film carriage limits possible stretch of film increasing cost of packaging per load
- Non pre-stretch film carriage creates sub-standard shipping package
|
- Suitable for low to medium volume wrapping needs
|
| |
Low profile, Semi-automatic, Pre-stretch |
 |
- Semi-automatic machine, does not require the active participation of the operator throughout the whole wrap cycle, allowing him/her to work productively elsewhere while the load is wrapped automatically
- Pre-stretch film carriage maximizes the stretching of the film, significantly reducing the cost of packaging per load
- Pre-stretch produces superior shipping package
- Full array of available options accommodates needs for over-sized loads and wrap pattern variations
- Fork lift portable
- No air supply required
- Minimal installation costs
|
- Requires operator to manually load the turntable, attach the film to the load, start the wrap cycle, cut and seal the film, and remove the load from the turntable
- Load supporting turntable has maximum load weight limitations
- May not be suitable for unstable loads which cannot accommodate rotation
- Turntable wearing parts require more frequent maintenance
- Need ramp to load with pallet trucks or powered-walkies
|
- Suitable for low to medium volume wrapping needs
This is the most common configuration for semi-automatic pallet stretch wrappers, meeting most customer's needs for portability, loading flexibility, semi-automatic operation, wrap pattern flexibility, superior load containment, and film savings. |

Low profile, Turntable surround, Semi-automatic, Pre-stretch |
 |
- Turntable surround provides protection for turntable plate
- Accommodates placement of machine into pit for floor level loading
|
|
|
| |
Low profile, Dual turntable surround, Semi-automatic, Pre-stretch |
 |
- Dual turntables increases operator loading and unloading efficiency, allowing more loads to be wrapped per hour
|
|
- Suitable for medium volume wrapping needs
|
| |
High profile, Semi-automatic, Pre-stretch |
 |
- More robust turntable support system
|
- Reduced maximum load wrap height capacity
- Does not accommodate a loading ramp (i.e. fork truck loading only)
|
- Suitable for low to medium volume wrapping needs
