Investing in the right equipment can transform your business, especially when it comes to operational costs and efficiency. The TAB Wrapper Tornado has become the go-to solution for businesses looking to save money while improving productivity and safety. By automating pallet wrapping with precision and consistency, the TAB Wrapper Tornado delivers unparalleled cost savings and operational benefits. Here’s how:
Reducing Labor Costs
Traditional hand wrapping often requires two employees to complete the job. This doubles your labor costs and slows down productivity. By switching to the TAB Wrapper Tornado, businesses can streamline operations with a single operator managing the controls directly from the forklift.
For example, companies wrapping 25 pallet loads daily can reduce labor costs per load from $4.65 to $0.44, saving $4.21 per pallet. Over the course of a year, this adds up to an annual labor cost saving of approximately $27,349.40. Beyond reducing costs, automating the process frees employees to focus on other essential tasks.
Additionally, hand wrapping increases the risk of workplace injuries such as back strains or repetitive motion injuries, which can lead to costly workers’ compensation claims. Automating this process significantly reduces these risks, enhancing both safety and cost-efficiency.
Minimizing Material Waste
One of the standout features of the TAB Wrapper Tornado is its ability to pre-stretch the film, reducing the overall amount of wrap used while creating a tighter, more secure load. This efficiency not only saves on material costs but also ensures superior stability during transport.
The benefits were demonstrated in a real-world scenario where a truck tipped over. Pallets wrapped with the TAB Wrapper Tornado remained intact, while those wrapped with other methods failed, causing significant product loss. The combination of pre-stretched wrap and consistent application makes the TAB Wrapper Tornado a game-changer in material efficiency and product safety.
Lower Maintenance and Operational Costs
The TAB Wrapper Tornado is engineered for simplicity, reducing maintenance downtime and expenses. Key components, such as the wrapping assembly, can be replaced with ease — unscrewing four bolts, swapping the part, and reassembling in minutes. This eliminates the need for specialized mechanical expertise or expensive repair services, keeping maintenance costs low.
Preventative maintenance kits are also available, ensuring routine upkeep is straightforward and cost-effective. Built to last, many TAB Wrapper Tornado units have been operating for over 15 years, proving their durability and reliability. With long warranties and minimal upkeep requirements, the Tornado offers significant savings over its lifespan compared to less durable solutions.
