HOW DOES IT WORK?

Let's get down to business...

Your forklift operator drives the load into the centre of the machine and starts the wrap cycle from a remote or lanyard.

The film carriage then travels on two support tubes, which are attached between the two rings. A chain attached to the film carriage, driven by a gearbox motor combo, pulls the carriage forward and back across the load. Carriage limits prevent mechanical over-travel. As the rings rotate, the carriage travels back and forth, enveloping the load with film. Once the cycle is completed, the film is automatically cut and wiped to the load.

FPS3000FT VS. THE COMPETITION

Our Competitors

  1. Most all wrappers are manual.
  2. The fork truck operator must get off the truck, manually attach the film to the skid, start the ring turning, and then push the whole machine manually forward and backward. This is a huge loss of time to wrap each load and an unnecessary risk of injury to the operator.
  3. Another type is automatic, but the fork truck operator must move the fork truck backward to wrap the load length. There could be a hazard if the operator does not see passing traffic.
