Executive summary This clip shows our roll and reel stretch wrapping machine. The reel lies on a low cradle of powered rollers that turn it on its own axis, while a film carriage on the frame wraps film around it. The cradle sits close to the floor, so reels can be rolled or lowered on and off without lifting them high.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Loading | A reel lies on the low roller cradle |
| Turning | Powered rollers turn the reel on its axis |
| Wrapping | The film carriage wraps film around the reel |

Why a floor-level cradle
- Easy loading. Reels roll or lower on at floor level.
- No lifting high. Less crane or forklift work.
- Even tension. The reel turns smoothly on powered rollers.
- Compact. The machine fits beside the slitter or rewinder.
