  • Patent number: 6729106
    Abstract: A stretch-wrapping machine consists of a revolving ring with a packaging material dispenser mounted to it. The ring revolves about a horizontal axis to dispense the stretch wrap material around a load that is supported by a forklift. The revolving ring is mounted on a track that allows the ring to travel back and forth in a direction perpendicular to the ring. This allows the machine to wrap any load that fits within the ring. Thus the length and the weight of the load do not limit the wrapping capability of the machine.
