Wrapping Dozens of Pallets Daily?

Automate Your Process & Save with ABL’s Pallet Wrappers

Is It Time to Invest in a Pallet Wrapper?

Ask yourself: how many pallets are you wrapping per day?

If the answer is 8 to 10 (or more), it’s time to consider automating. Keep in mind: wrapping doesn’t just apply to goods going out — many warehouses also wrap goods coming in. Even businesses that only dispatch small items may benefit from automating the wrapping process.

Where Do the Savings Come From?

Labour cost is the key saving. Manual wrapping takes 5–10 minutes per pallet. With an automatic pallet wrapper, staff can multitask while wrapping is in progress — improving warehouse productivity and reducing downtime from injuries (like back or shoulder strain). You also get a cleaner, more consistent wrap presentation.

Essential Features to Look For

Don’t get stuck with a pallet wrapper that lacks these must-haves:

• Photo cell height detection – for smooth, automated operation.
• Forklift slots – essential for relocation flexibility.
• Access ramp – especially important if you need to use a pallet jack during forklift downtime.
• Dedicated warehouse space – allow at least 4m x 3m for safe access and efficient flow.
• All ABL pallet wrappers run on standard single-phase power.

Optional Upgrades to Consider

Choose the right configuration based on your specific wrapping needs:

• Turntable size – 1520mm is standard, but 1800mm or 2200mm may be needed for larger pallets.
• Mast height – standard is 2.2m, but you may need 2.8m for tall loads.
• Powered pre-stretch – useful for varying wrap tension across product types.
• Black photo eye – necessary if you use black pallet wrap or have dark pallet loads.
• Turntable-only models – ideal for heavy, irregular loads like gym equipment.

A Word of Caution

Be wary of “too good to be true” deals. Low-cost pallet wrappers often don’t include freight (which can add $250–$500+), installation, or support. Ask yourself — do you want to spend days trying to assemble and program it yourself?

Stick with a trusted supplier like ABL and invest in long-term value.
