Stretch Wrapping Wire Spools and Unstable Loads
Pallets of wire spools and other unstable loads pose a considerable threat when improperly shrink wrapped by hand. If a heavy wire spool should come loose and fall off the pallet, it will cause significant damage and harm.
Semi and fully-automatic pallet wrappers from Handle It remove the human error factor and provide your shipping department or warehouse with a safe, secure, and consistent wrap.
Handle It pallet wrapping machines come with the following features:
- 250% power pre-stretch (lower film costs by up to 60%)
- 18-32 custom wrap cycles
- User friendly control panel
- Wrap up to 300 pallets per day
- 118” max wrap height
- Ability to safely wrap tall, unstable or extremely heavy loads
- Additional roping device provides extra strength at the bottom and top of the pallet
- Remote-controlled (1100AA-C)

Pro Tips
Here are several Pro Tips that will help you optimize wrapping wire spools and unstable loads for transport.
- A great starting point is a cycle with 2-3 top and bottom rotations with a film tension around 50% for average pallet loads.
- On initial setup, try slower speeds and less tension, and work your way up to optimize cycle time and load containment.
- If you have sharp edges on the product, try a lower film tension and rotation speed or consider a thicker, more puncture-resistant film.
- If you have an outlier product at the top, try increasing the overwrap delay or “flanging” time along with top rotations to ensure you get the film band high enough to catch the top layer.
- If you have empty spaces or voids, try increasing the flanging time or the fixed height setting available on the Model 1100.
- Use a roping divide and set extra reinforcement height to lock it in.
- Variable tension allows the wrapper to start with lower tension at the bottom of the pallet, then increase it on the way down to secure the load.
