Frequently Asked Question

Forklift

Ensure you have a suitable forklift truck available to manage the unloading and placement of the wrapper into position. To assist with this, most wrappers are forklift portable from at least one end (and most from both ends.) This facilitates shipping of the machine and easy movement of the machine throughout your facility as your needs dictate. A 3,000 lbs capacity fork truck, with 4 wheels, is recommended.

NOTE:
Some forklift forks are too thick to be inserted into the forklift tubes of the wrapper more than ~1 or 2 ft. This is normal and the machine is designed to accommodate being picked up and moved in this way.

Machine Size

Please check the size of the shipping / receiving door, and any other doorways the machine must pass through to its final destination to ensure they are large enough to accommodate the machine. The shipping dimensions of the machines vary. Please check your documentation or speak to your representative for details.

Flooring

For turntable style wrappers it is important to ensure the machine is placed on a flat and seamless (crack-less) section of flooring to ensure even distribution of load weight and to help prevent structural issues.

Ramps

For low profile turntable wrappers with a ramp, the ramp ships with the machine, usually stacked on the turntable, and must be manually installed. Most models facilitate mounting in a position appropriate for your needs. (Holes are pre-drilled to accommodate the standard three (3) ramp positions (90, 180, and 270 degrees) used by most applications.) Dependent upon the machine model, and your installation needs, the drilling and tapping of bolt holes may be required. Unless otherwise arranged, the customer is responsible for this installation.
