Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum load capacity of the FS1000?

The FS1000 supports loads up to 5,000 lbs with a maximum load size of 56" × 56". The 59" diameter turntable accommodates standard and oversized pallets, with an optional 70" turntable available for extra-large footprints.

How fast does the FS1000 wrap a pallet?
