    Stretch Wrap Labor Savings Chart

    Historically, during downturns, stretch wrap equipment sell well because small and midsize companies that normally require this type of machinery will put the purchase on hold until “things pick-up”.

    On the other hand, smart companies will continue to purchase equipment that can offer labor savings and improve efficiency. This is why you need to focus on automation and why the A-ARM is extremely important in today’s environment.

    Below is a chart that points out the labor savings provided when comparing the use of a semi-automatic machine with the automatic A-ARM:

     

    Loads/Day     Attach/Cut Film    Mins/Hr       Days/Year     Hourly Rate      Annual Savings

     

    25      X       2.5       ÷            60        X       260        X        $15          =      $4,056.00

     

    50      X       2.5       ÷            60        X       260        X        $15          =      $8,112.00

     

    75      X       2.5       ÷            60        X       260        X        $15          =      $12,168.00

     

     

    Below is the difference between hand wrapping and the automatic A-ARM:

     

    Loads/Day   Avg wrap time     Mins/Hr   Days/Year   Hourly Rate   Annual Savings

     

    25     X     3.5    ÷            60        X           260        X        $15          =      $5,655.00

     

    50     X     3.5    ÷            60        X           260        X        $15          =      $11,349.00

     

    75     X     3.5    ÷            60        X           260        X        $15          =      $17,043.00

     

    Average powered pre-stretch semi-automatic sell price.......... $8,500.00

    Full list price of the A-ARM..................................................... $11,950.00

                                                                        Difference............. $3,450.00

     

    The $4,056 or more in labor savings will pay for the difference between the A-ARM and a good semi-automatic in less than a year!

     

    The $5,655 or more in labor savings compared to hand wrapping will pay for the A-ARM in 2 years or less!
