Pilot Stretch Wrappers: Two Powerful Options

TWO POWERFUL OPTIONS: Choose the Pilot Stretch Wrapper that Fits Your Operation


When it comes to pallet wrapping automation, businesses are looking for ways to save on labor, reduce film waste, and ensure every load is secure. Cousins Packaging delivers with two powerful stretch wrapping machines—the Pilot NP and the Pilot X. Both models are engineered for durability, equipped with intelligent controls, and designed to replace the inefficiency of hand wrapping. The difference? Each offers a carriage system tailored to your operational needs.

Pilot NP: Affordable Stretch Wrapping Machine for Small to Mid-Size Operations

The Pilot NP stretch wrapper is the budget-friendly solution designed for operations making the leap from hand wrapping to automation. With the NP, you’ll benefit from:

  • Significant labor and time savings

  • Consistent film application for better load containment

  • A tough, reliable build that lasts for years

If you’re looking for a simple, cost-effective stretch wrapping machine that eliminates hand wrapping fatigue, the Pilot NP is a smart choice.



Pilot X: Advanced Stretch Wrapping with Maximum Film Savings

The Pilot X stretch wrapper includes all the advantages of the NP model but adds a 200% powered pre-stretch film carriage. This advanced feature offers:

  • Up to 50% film savings through efficient pre-stretching

  • The ability to wrap lighter or irregular loads without compromising stability

  • Superior load containment for secure shipments

For operations focused on reducing material costs while improving performance, the Pilot X is the best-in-class option.

 

Choosing the Right Stretch Wrapper for Your Operation

Both the Pilot NP and Pilot X deliver the same rugged design and intelligent controls. The choice comes down to your priorities:

  • Select the Pilot NP for a dependable, entry-level stretch wrapping machine that replaces hand wrapping.

  • Select the Pilot X if you want advanced film savings, stronger load security, and enhanced flexibility.

 

Intelligent Controls for Smarter Stretch Wrapping

Every Pilot model comes with an A–B–C wrap program selector, giving operators the flexibility to create and store customized wrapping parameters. Whether you’re working with varying load types or need specific wrap patterns, this control panel ensures consistent and repeatable results.

By switching from manual pallet wrapping to the Pilot, companies gain:

  • Labor cost savings compared to hand wrapping

  • Film control and precision application

  • A fast return on investment thanks to reduced waste

This makes the Pilot series not just an equipment upgrade but a long-term cost-saving strategy.

No matter which model you choose, you’re getting a machine that’s truly engineered to wrap and built to last.
