Large Pallet Wrapping Machine: Wrapping Tall, Wide Loads on a Big Turntable With a Top Press

Executive summary This clip shows our large turntable pallet wrapper. A tall white load sits on the big yellow turntable, a top press comes down to hold it, and the film carriage climbs the mast while the turntable turns. A big turntable and top press suit oversize or light loads that would shift on a standard machine.

Load A tall white load on the large turntable
Top press The press comes down onto the load
Wrapping The turntable turns while the carriage climbs
Second turntable A second turntable stands beside
Operator An operator runs the machine

When a large wrapper is needed

  • Oversize loads. Footprints bigger than a standard pallet.
  • Tall loads. Loads that need a long mast.
  • Light loads. A top press stops them shifting.
  • Heavy loads. A strong turntable takes the weight.

Turns per load

What we set per load

Setting Depends on
Turntable Load footprint and weight
Mast Load height
Top press Load stability
Film Pre-stretch and layers

Selection checklist

  • Load footprint and height.
  • Load weight.
  • Light or unstable load.
  • Film type.
  • Loads per hour.
  • Floor space.

Safety

  • Keep clear of the turning load and the top press.
  • Do not stand on the turntable.
  • Stop the machine before changing film.
  • For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-6.

Engineering FAQ

Q: When do I need a large pallet wrapper? A: For oversize, tall, light or heavy loads.

Q: What does the top press do? A: It holds the load steady while it turns.

Q: How many turns does a tall load need? A: About 10 turns up for a 2,400 mm load in the worked example, climbing; top and bottom wraps and the pass down are added.

Q: Why two turntables? A: The clip shows a second, separate machine beside the first.

Q: Can it wrap loads without a pallet? A: Yes, loads that stand stable on the turntable.

Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-6.
