Safe-To-Ship Loads
Lantech invented the concept of containment force and continues to innovate to help our customers wrap safe-to-ship loads every time!
Wrapping Safe-To-Ship Loads
Stretch wrapping has become the standard way to unitize products for shipment. But just because the load is wrapped and it’s shiny, doesn’t mean it’s ready for the back of a truck. Without proper stretch wrapping, loads can fail during shipment, causing damage to the product and damage to the brand.
It is estimated that ineffective stretch wrapping is responsible for over $70 billion of waste each year, just in consumer product goods. Now, more than ever, improving stretch wrapping processes, setting a standard and maintaining it is important in any shipping operation.
Three signs of a safe-to-ship load:
- There is enough containment force everywhere on the load.
- The load is locked to the pallet.
- There are no long or dragging film tails.
What Is Containment Force?
Containment Force is the total force applied to your load at a given point. Containment Force is produced by wrap force (tightness) multiplied by the number of stretch film revolutions. It’s the key specification in reducing damage and ensuring safe-to-ship loads.
“Experience has proven the value of measuring containment force. Established wrap parameters need to be confirmed to ensure load safety; doing so quickly and with a high degree of accuracy is essential in busy shipping operations.”
– Lantech Founder and Chairman Pat Lancaster

How to Check Your Containment Force
Use The Force: Containment Force Is The Key To Safe Pallet Loads
The Right Amount Of Containment Force, Everywhere On The Load, Is The Primary Indicator Of A Safe-To-Ship Load.
Make sure you periodically check your loads to determine if they fall within the guidelines. Use Lantech’s Containment Force Recommendation Chart to find the right value and the CFT-6 tool to measure.
Containment Force Tool™ 6, commonly known as the CFT-6, is our patented tool used to measure Containment Force. It provides fast, consistent, and nondestructive measurements of containment force on pallet loads. Order yours today!
Lantech Exclusives
These features are designed to maximize productivity and performance, while delivering safe-to-ship loads. Available on select semi-automatic stretch wrappers.
Pallet Grip®
Lock Your Load to the Pallet!
Don’t Risk More Than You Have To! Millions of loads slide off their pallets during shipment each year causing billions of dollars of rework and waste. If your load isn’t properly bonded or “locked” to its pallet, it can slide off and be damaged during shipment. Stretch wrapping all the way down to the bottom of the pallet isn’t enough. Puncture holes in the film – caused by the forks of a forklift or pallet jack – may spread up the load and jeopardize the containment force of the film.
XT Cut and Clamp®
Keep your driver on the forklift with the XT Cut and Clamp®! The XT Cut and Clamp® cuts the film at the end of the wrap cycle. The XT then holds the film and attaches it to the next load. When using the XT, your drivers can stay on their forklift as the load is wrapped, giving them the opportunity to do something more productive and return to a load that is ready to be picked up.
The XT Cut and Clamp® can help:
- Reduce labor costs.
- Reduce potential employee injury.
- Increase productivity.
Upgrade with The Click-n-Go® Remote Control
The Click-n-Go® remote control enables forklift drivers to simply place a pallet load on the stretch wrapper, back away a few feet and start the machine.
EZ Weigh® Integrated Scale
Wrap and weigh in one easy step!
The EZ Weigh® Integrated Scale is a smart addition to your stretch wrapper. Without adding any additional work to your stretch wrapping and shipping process, the EZ Weigh® Integrated Scale can help you:
- Eliminate expensive freight fines.
- Stop wasting expensive labor.
- Protect your reputation.
Load Guardian®
Create, maintain and deliver safe-to-ship loads every time!
Load Guardian® is Lantech’s patented control system that creates, maintains and delivers the right containment force for safe-to-ship loads every time. It minimizes operator interaction and eliminates the guess work for stretch wrapping any load configuration.
Load Guardian®:
- Creates and saves profiles (at start-up or whenever you need one).
- Maintains profile standards automatically.
- Delivers the right amount of containment force everywhere on the load, every time.
- Eliminates the need for operator skill and involvement.
- Produces a knowable and repeatable film cost.
