Stretch Film Dispenser HOLD3 – 35% Stretch Rate – 500mm Film Width – 76mm Core

HOLD3 hand stretch film dispenser

The HOLD3 is a manual stretch film dispenser. The roll spins on the frame, the film passes through a brake, and the operator walks around the pallet holding the handle, instead of pulling the roll with both hands. The film stretches by 35% as it is applied to the load.

This dispenser holds stretch film rolls from 300 to 500 mm wide, with a 76 mm core, and up to 510 mm in length, which matches standard hand rolls. Changing rolls takes just a few seconds, and the holder height can be adjusted for each roll.

You adjust the tension manually using the brake: set it lighter for delicate loads that shouldn’t be compressed, or tighter for pallets that need to stay secure during transport. The tension stays consistent for the whole pallet, so every layer is wrapped evenly.

The dispenser is built from metal with a rust-resistant coating, and the handle is cushioned with soft foam. Weighing about 1.45 kg, it’s light enough to carry around pallets all day without straining your hand.

Typical applications for the HOLD3 dispenser

The HOLD3 dispenser is commonly used in warehouses, logistics centers, manufacturing plants, and distribution facilities. It’s ideal for wrapping pallets, bundling boxes, and securing items for storage or transport. The dispenser fits into manual packing operations where loads of various shapes and sizes are prepared for movement or storage. It’s a preferred choice when you need flexibility in film width and tension, and want to stabilize loads quickly without investing in automated equipment.

How the dispenser improves your packaging process

• Get 35% more film from each roll. The dispenser stretches the film before application, so each roll wraps more pallets than manual use.
• Consistent wrapping. The brake maintains steady tension for even coverage, preventing film tears at corners.
• Comfortable to use. With a padded handle and just 1.45 kg, the operator walks around the pallet instead of lifting the whole roll.
• Fits any standard hand film roll. Accepts film from 300 to 500 mm wide on a 76 mm core, up to 510 mm in length.
• Quick roll changes. Open the holder, drop in the new roll, adjust the height, and continue wrapping.
• Built for warehouse use. Durable metal frame with rust protection, not made of plastic.

Instructions for using the HOLD3 dispenser

1. Open the holder, slide the stretch film roll onto it, and adjust the height to fit your roll.
2. Adjust the brake tension: use a lighter setting for soft loads, and a tighter setting for pallets that will be moved.
3. Secure the film’s starting edge to one corner of the pallet.
4. Walk around the pallet from the bottom up and back down, overlapping the film by about half its width each time.
5. Tear off the film at the end and press the loose end onto the load to secure it.

Care and Maintenance

• Tension. Set the brake once and keep it consistent for the entire pallet to ensure an even wrap.
• Film. Use stretch film between 300 and 500 mm wide, with a 76 mm core, and rolls up to 510 mm long.
• Holder height. Adjust to match your roll so the film feeds straight and doesn’t crease at the edges.
• Care. Keep the rollers and brake free of film residue and dust; a dirty brake can cause uneven wrapping. Do not oil the rollers, as the film needs to grip them.
