Paulman,
Actually wrapping in plastic sheet is typical for palletized loads. The shrink wrap maintains the intregity of the items loaded on the pallet. Without the wrapping of the smaller tanks, the likely hood that they would fall over especially being stacked upright is greatly increased. We currently employ this method of wrapping for all pallets leaving our facility. We presently use machines that are similar to record player turntables. A full pallet is set on the turntable and is rotated, while a spindle next to the turntable that has 24-30" roll of shrinkwrap, moves up and down the spindle wrapping the pallet from the bottom up.
