Pallet Wrappers and Automatic Pallet Wrapping Machines for Australian Warehouses
Upgrade from hand wrapping to Redline pallet wrappers to improve load stability, reduce film usage and make packing safer and easier for your team.
What Is a Pallet Wrapper?
A pallet wrapper, sometimes called a pallet wrapping machine or stretch wrapper, is a powered turntable that wraps stretch film around palletised loads. Instead of walking around a pallet with hand film, the operator places the pallet on the turntable, attaches the film and lets the machine do the work.
Power Packaging supplies the Redline range of pallet wrappers, designed for Australian warehouses, manufacturers and 3PL facilities that need consistent wrapping, repeatable load containment and better control over stretch film costs.
Why Move Away from Hand Wrapping?
- Safer for staff: Less bending, twisting and walking in circles with heavy film rolls.
- Better load stability: Consistent wrap patterns and film tension for every pallet.
- Lower film usage: Pre-stretch on the film saves material.
- Faster throughput: Wrap more pallets per hour with less operator effort.
- Professional presentation: Tight, even film coverage.
REDLINE 1001E – SEMI AUTOMATIC WORKHORSE
The Redline 1001E semi automatic wrapper is a robust entry point into automation. Operators place the pallet on the turntable, attach the film and start the cycle. The mast and carriage do the rest, wrapping from base to top with controlled tension.
- Reliable turntable pallet wrapper for everyday use.
- Simple control panel that is easy for staff to learn.
- Multiple wrap cycles for standard loads and extra reinforcement.
- Supports a wide range of machine pallet wrap films from our machine wrap range.
REDLINE 2000B – STRETCH WRAPPER WITH FILM SAVINGS BUILT IN
When film usage and load containment are the main drivers, the Redline 2000B is the next step. This auto pallet wrapper style machine uses a powered pre-stretch carriage that draws more performance from each roll of film.
- Powered pre-stretch carriage for genuine material savings.
- Consistent containment force and wrap patterns.
- Ideal for customers moving away from basic automatic wrapper imports that are hard to support.
- Pairs perfectly with high performance films from our pallet wrap and stretch film category .
REDLINE 2000K – AUTOMATIC PALLET WRAPPER FOR HIGHER VOLUMES
For higher volume operations, the Redline 2000K automatic pallet wrapper reduces touch points, speeds up wrapping and supports more complex wrap programs. It is ideal where pallets flow continuously from production or packing lines.
- Automatic cycle start and finish to shorten operator time at the wrapper.
- More programmable parameters to fine tune film usage and wrap patterns.
- Suitable upgrade path from a semi automatic pallet wrapping machine when growth kicks in.
- Support from a local team that understands Australian warehousing and OH&S requirements.
How Pallet Wrappers Work
Pallet wrappers all work on the same core principle: the pallet rotates on a turntable while the film carriage moves up and down the mast, applying stretch film under controlled tension. By managing turntable speed, carriage speed and film tension together, the machine creates a tight, consistent wrap that stabilises the load far better than hand wrapping.
Redline pallet wrappers use smooth-running motors, adjustable parameters and reliable film delivery systems to produce predictable and repeatable results. This means fewer film breaks, better load containment and a more efficient use of every roll of film.
Choosing the Right Machine
Selecting the right pallet wrapper depends on a few simple but important factors. The first is how many pallets you wrap per day – low to medium users are usually well suited to a semi automatic machine, while higher-volume operations see bigger gains from a fully automatic wrapper.
Load type also matters. Mixed, unstable or lightweight pallets often need more control over tension and wrap cycles, while standard, repeatable loads can benefit from programmable automatic settings. It’s also worth considering your available floor space, your workflow, forklift access and the type of stretch film you prefer to run.
Our team can walk you through the options and help you match a Redline model to your warehouse layout, staffing levels and operational requirements.
Sustainability & Film Savings
One of the biggest advantages of using a pallet wrapper is the reduction in film waste. Pre-stretch carriages pull more usable length out of every metre of film, meaning you can achieve strong load containment with less plastic overall. This not only saves money but also helps reduce your environmental footprint.
Pairing the right machine with the right stretch film is the key. High-performance machine films work best with powered pre-stretch systems, while traditional films pair well with friction-brake machines. We stock a complete range of pallet wrap options so you can fine-tune both load security and sustainability outcomes.
FAQ: Pallet Wrappers
- Difference between pallet wrapper and pallet wrapping machine?
They’re the same thing. Different suppliers use different names, but they all refer to a machine that wraps stretch film around a pallet using a powered turntable and film carriage. - What is an automatic pallet wrapper?
An automatic pallet wrapper reduces the number of operator steps. Most models include automatic film clamp, film cutting and programmed wrap cycles that start and finish without the operator needing to stay with the machine. It speeds up throughput and makes wrapping more consistent. - Do warehouses use shrink wrap for pallets?
No. Shrink film requires heat to contract, so it’s used for retail packs and specific applications. Pallets are wrapped with stretch film – and that’s exactly what pallet wrappers are designed to apply.
