Columbia Machine, an innovator in palletizing solutions, launched the FLD1500-SW, the latest model in its new family of advanced palletizers at PACK EXPO Las Vegas. Designed for performance and space efficiency, the FLD1500-SW features a fully integrated stretch wrapper that enables simultaneous “stack and wrap” load building.

At the heart of the FLD1500-SW is a servo controlled dual hoist design, which, combined with an electric row pusher and storage capacity for two rows plus one full layer of product, delivers seamless and efficient operation. All of this functionality is housed within a remarkably compact 90-square-foot main frame, making it an ideal solution for facilities where space is at a premium.

“This new design reflects Columbia Machine’s continued commitment to innovation and customer-focused engineering,” said Mark MacDonald, President – Palletizer Division at Columbia Machine. “The FLD1500-SW not only maximizes efficiency with its integrated stretch wrapper, but it also addresses the real-world challenges of floor space and operational speed.”

The FLD1500-SW is part of a broader family of palletizers that can be equipped with Columbia’s integrated stretch wrapping technology, setting a new standard for compact, high-performance palletizing systems.
