Pallet wrapping machine repair,
service & support.
Engineer-led breakdown response, planned servicing and consumables for pallet wrapping machines across the UK, also called pallet wrappers or stretch wrappers. Turntable, rotary arm and robotic - OEM independent, all major brands covered.
Every type covered.
Pallet wrapping machines vary by how the load and the film move. We cover all three.
The most common type. The load sits on a rotating table while the film carriage travels up and down. Mechanically straightforward, and most faults come back to the drive chain, carriage chain or turntable bearing.

The load stays put while a ring or rotating arm carries the film around it. Used where loads are unstable, very heavy, or awkward to spin. More moving parts overhead, so faults tend to need working at height.

The machine drives itself around the load. No fixed footprint, useful where space is tight or loads are oversized. Batteries, drive wheels and sensors bring fault modes the fixed machines don't have.

Select a symptom for likely causes and practical checks you can run before calling an engineer.
Turntable not turning
Drive chain failure. Common on older machines or where lubrication has been missed. The turntable stops immediately and won't restart.
See likely causes
Stops mid-cycle
Grease and film debris built up around the turntable bearing. Causes motor overload and mid-cycle stops - usually after the machine has been getting slower over days or weeks.

Film carriage not moving
Lift carriage chain failure. The carriage stops at a fixed height and won't return to the home position. Usually sudden with no prior warning.

we respond.
Engineer-led fault diagnosis and repair across all major brands. Every visit is documented - what failed, why, and what to watch for next.
A visit before the fault is always cheaper.
Most faults we see were preventable - worn belts, missed lubrication, film debris building up around bearings. A service visit catches those while they're still cheap to fix.
Every visit - breakdown or service - gets a written job sheet. What we found, what we did, what to watch for next.
