Muller’s Yellow Jacket 87-M orbital stretch wrapper is suitable for securing oversized, oddly shaped, palletized loads while the pallet remains on the forklift. The orbital wrapper is a horizontally positioned stretch wrap machine that moves around and under a load as the Yellow Jacket is manually advanced across the length of the load, minimizing the time it takes to wrap a load by hand. Typically, it takes two workers roughly 10 minutes to wrap a similar load by hand. Yellow Jacket can wrap a similar load with one worker in one minute.

In addition to reducing the labor required to wrap by at least 50%, Yellow Jacket also eliminates the need for other strapping materials or expensive cartons to secure loads. According to the vendor, Yellow Jacket’s customers have reported anywhere from $20,000 to $50,000 saved annually in labor costs alone. Tightly wrapped to the pallet, the load’s ability to shift, fall, or slide in transit is nearly impossible.

Yellow Jacket 87-M is available in manual or semi-automatic. It requires a footprint of about 8 x 9 ft. and runs on 110 VAC, making it easy to install in almost any plant. It also wraps a standard pallet size up to 68-in. diagonal.
