Yellow
Jacket LLP introduces an ergonomically-friendly semi-automatic stretch
wrap machine to fasten shipping pallet loads securely and safely, with added versatility
and greater affordability than competitive models. An automated stretch
wrapping machine like the Yellow Jacket 110® stretch wrap equipment can help protect workers
from disabling cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) such as: light back injuries.
The Yellow Jacket 110 Model 87-SA (semi-automatic) allows forklift drivers
to stretch-wrap nearly any size and shape and load right on the pallet
and all from the seat of the forklift. Stretch wrapping by hand can
cause awkward positions in the trunk and the shoulders. These positions
are often held for extended periods of time. The Yellow Jacket 110 stretch wrapper can
help to eliminate these problems while at the same time streamlining
the stretch wrapping process.
According to an
Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation study of three manufacturing locations
that incorporated stretch wrapping machines:
- There was a
14 percent improvement in the CTD incidence rate
- The days lost
due to CTDs dropped from 369 days per 200,000 hours worked to 0
- The turnover
rate (per 200,000 hours worked) declined from 94.6 to 35.3
- The restricted
days due to CTDs decreased from 125 days per 200,000 hours worked
to 39.3 – a 69% improvement

on the Equipment
The Yellow Jacket
110 stretch wrapper saves money and time within all types of shipping operations. This
can be attributed to reasons such as:
- Our stretch wrap equipment wraps loads
while the driver remains on the forklift for all operations, providing
faster and more ergonomically sound packaging/shipping operations…and
adding to your overall confidence of more secured loads along the
way
- The stretch wrap machine works with all
types of equipment…it may be used with both rider forklifts
and stand up, narrow aisle lifts
- It is easily
repaired/maintained with standard off-the-shelf replacement parts
“Lock
Down” Assures Secured Product on Pallet
This
semi-automatic pallet wrapper offers increased confidence and security through
the use of its Lock Down Technology which wraps around the cargo and
pallet to secure any load without bands. The wrap tension adjusts easily
to provide a range of 0-200% film stretch, which can secure cargo of
any dimension or weight and loads of standard, oversized and irregular
shapes. The Lock Down Technology assures that loads remain secured during
shipment, eliminating any shifting or sliding that could cause costly
damage.
The Yellow Jacket
110 Model 87-SA’s versatility allows it to meet a multitude of
stretch-wrap needs. The pallet size that the machine can wrap is 52
square inches and five feet long, but the machine base may be increased
in six-foot increments to handle longer pallet lengths. It is also available
in manually operated and fully automated models and each can be completely
customized. Compared to other pallet wrapping machines, the Yellow Jacket
110 Model 87-SA provides a more cost-effective means toward stretch
wrapping pallets for shipping.
Ease-of-use is
another advantage offered by the Yellow Jacket 110. Both technical and
non-technical personnel can be trained on machine use and safety in
just one hour.
