Breaking free from conveyor-line bottlenecks
Heavy fixed inline systems demand extensive conveyor architecture and force the whole operation to bring every pallet to one fixed location — creating forklift traffic jams and layout restrictions on top of significant capital expenditure.
The ErgoPack 726X: bring the machine to the pallet
- Zero infrastructure cost: no concrete, idle conveyors or factory-floor reorganisation.
- Up to 2500N of electronically controlled tension — matching the load security of fixed arches without the fixed frame.
- Instant deployment: the free-floating ChainLance feeds the strap under the pallet in seconds.
| Consideration | Fixed inline system | ErgoPack 726X (mobile) |
|---|---|---|
| Capital + install | High (conveyors, power, civil work) | Low (roll-in, no civil work) |
| Floor layout | Fixed around the machine | Flexible — strap at any dock |
| Throughput model | Pallets come to the machine | Machine goes to the pallets |
| Tension | Inline arch | Up to 2500N, calibrated |
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is a mobile machine a real alternative to an inline strapping system?
- For most end-of-line dispatch, yes. A mobile ErgoPack 726X delivers up to 2500N of calibrated tension and sealless friction-weld sealing without the conveyors, 3-phase power and floor-bolting an inline arch requires — and it can strap at any dock instead of one fixed point.
- When is a fixed inline system still the better fit?
- Continuous, single-line, very-high-volume production where pallets already flow on a conveyor can justify a fixed arch. For mixed loads, multiple dispatch lanes, or facilities that value layout flexibility and low capital outlay, a mobile system is usually the stronger ROI.
