Revolution Pallet Wrapper; Best way to wrap a pallet.
Even when it’s done correctly, wrapping can be a difficult and strenuous job for your employees. This is especially true when your team is still wrapping by hand. Hand wrapping is a common cause of back injuries and is associated with other risks.
Switching to a stretch wrapper could help your team stay safer. These machines include safety features designed to protect operators and reduce the number of injuries on the floor. When your team is trained to use them, they can improve safety and productivity.
Stretch Wrappers Reduce Back Strain and Injuries: Back injuries are relatively common in plants that still use hand-wrapping processes. Your team members must complete several tasks that can cause strain, such as bending over and reaching down, carrying a 10-pound roll of film, and pulling with enough force to tie the pallet together. Hand wrapping is also connected with repetitive motion injuries, one of the most common safety hazards in the warehouse.
A Revolution stretch wrap machine eliminates these risks. The machine will apply the force to tie the pallet together, and there’s no need for your employees to move the film rolls from place to place. Instead, the film is loaded into the machine.
Hand-wrapping requires employees to circle the pallet, sometimes several times to get the load wrapped properly. For some employees, this may result in dizziness. A dizzy spell could lead to a fall or other injuries.
Another common cause of falls is tripping, and it’s easy to stumble over debris on the floor while you’re manually wrapping. Some hand wrap even requires the worker to circle the pallet walking backwards, increasing the likelihood of tripping, and falling. While it is important to keep workspaces tidy, it isn’t always possible during a job.
The Revolution stretch wrapper allows you to wrap your pallets with the greatest ease and no hassle. There are variety of turntable machine options that enable you to wrap all kind of pallets, dolly's & trollies, and panels.
