Cousins 3200 High Profile Platform Automatic Pallet Wrapper
Fully Automatic Pallet Wrapping Designed for Forklift Loading
The Cousins 3200 High Profile Platform Automatic Pallet Wrapper provides fully automatic film attachment, wrapping, cutting, and film-tail control in a compact, forklift-loaded system. Using the included wireless remote, a forklift operator can load the pallet, initiate the wrapping cycle, and remove the finished load without leaving the forklift.
The elevated high-profile turntable eliminates the need for a loading ramp or pit installation. Therefore, the 3200 is well suited for facilities that primarily handle pallet loads with forklifts.
Unlike the low-profile 3200, the high-profile model is completely electric and does not require compressed air for standard operation. With speeds of up to 40 loads per hour, a 4,500-pound dynamic load capacity, and Cousins’ Super Rapid Thread II™ pre-stretch carriage, the 3200 delivers dependable automated performance without requiring a conveyorized packaging line.

Why Choose the Cousins 3200 High Profile?
Wireless Forklift Operation
The included wireless remote allows the operator to start and stop the wrapping cycle from the forklift seat. As a result, the operator does not need to dismount to attach or cut the stretch film.
Fully Automatic Film Handling
Electro-mechanical film clamping, film-tail cutting, and wiping automatically complete the beginning and end of each wrapping cycle.
High-Profile Forklift Loading
The elevated turntable is designed for direct forklift loading. Consequently, facilities do not need a pallet-jack ramp or recessed pit.
All-Electric Operation
The standard 3200 High Profile operates without compressed air. This can simplify installation and eliminate the need for an air connection or compressor.
Up to 40 Loads Per Hour
The machine can process between 1 and 40 loads per hour, depending on load dimensions, wrap settings, and forklift handling time.
Improved Film Utilization
The Super Rapid Thread II™ powered pre-stretch carriage provides electronic corner compensation and adjustable pre-stretch ratios to improve film efficiency and load containment.
