HP-SWA A-ARM (High Profile) Automatic Pallet Wrapper
Fully Automatic | Forklift Operated | Patented A-Arm Technology
Revolutionary Forklift-Operated Automation
A unique patented fully automatic stretch wrapper that can be operated directly from the forklift using a wireless remote control.
This design eliminates the need for the operator to get on and off the lift to attach or cut the film, saving valuable time while enhancing safety and efficiency.
- Fully automatic wrapping from the forklift seat
- Wireless remote operation for complete control
- No need to dismount for film attachment or cutting
- Increases productivity and reduces operator fatigue
- Provides significant labor cost savings
- Eliminates repetitive motion injuries and safety concerns
Exclusive Patented A-Arm Technology
Cousins’ A-Arm film cut and hold device is an exclusive patented technology available only on Cousins machines.
It starts and ends the wrap cycle at the top of the load, offering a cleaner, more efficient wrapping process with fewer maintenance requirements.
- Selectable top banding capability for improved load stability
- Stabilizes the load early in the wrap cycle
- Places the film tail at the top of the load—preventing dirt and damage
- No turntable film clamp to maintain or replace
- Eliminates slip-rings—reducing maintenance needs
- Load placement on turntable not critical
- All-electric operation—no air hookups or noisy compressors
- Automatic first revolution load scanning adjusts A-Arm height for uneven or partial stacks
- A-Arm anti-fall safety device for added protection
- Ingenious, simplified engineering for years of reliable, low-maintenance performance
