 <\/p>\n

Every day loads slide off their pallets during shipment, causing billions of dollars of damage and waste each year. If your \"Palletload is not locked\u00a0to its pallet it\u2019s at risk.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Different stretch wrappers<\/a> have different load locking\u00a0methods. At the end of a stretch wrapping cycle some wrappers bunch the film into an accordion-like rope, others will roll the film into a cable and others just wrap to the bottom of the pallet.\u00a0Our research shows rolling the film is most\u00a0effective.<\/p>\n

During the stress of shipment regular roping<\/em> tends to unbunch, reducing its effectiveness. However, rolling<\/em> the bottom 3 to 5 inches of the film web into a tight cable then driving it down onto the pallet – about an inch below its deck boards – locks the load to the pallet preventing it from sliding off.<\/p>\n

The position of the cable is also important. It needs to be high enough to keep from being punctured by the forks of a forklift or pallet jack and low enough to lock\u00a0the load to the pallet.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more than enough risk to go around in today\u2019s world. Why take chances with your loads when there\u2019s an easy, inexpensive and effective way to improve their chances of arriving safely to their destinations?<\/p>\n

To learn more about locking your load to the pallet and see how machines roll film into a cable watch this video<\/a>.<\/p>\n
