<p>An apparatus for wrapping a pallet load (L) with a wrapping film applied selectively as a film rope (R) or as a film sheet (F) includes means (28) to support the load (L) in an elevated position. A rotary arm (32) supported above the load (L) is arranged to be rotatably driven. An upright member (50) depending from the rotary arm (32) is spaced outwardly from the load (L). A carriage (60) is arranged to be upwardly and downwardly driven along the upright member (50). A dispenser on the carriage dispenses the wrapper as a rope (R) or as a sheet (F). A guide (200), which comprises a lever (206, 210) and a hook (204) on the lever, is moveable among extended, partly retracted, and fully retracted positions. In the extended position, the guide (200) guides the rope (R) across the respective corners of the load (L). In the partly or fully retracted position, the guide does not interfere with driving the carriage (60) along the upright member (50). <IMAGE></p> |
