  • Preventive Maintenance (PM) Service
    • With the ever growing usage of stretch wrap, G.A.P. has observed that:
      • More units are going into branch plants and warehouses which do not have in-house mechanics or electricians to do the regular PM's on equipment which are required so as not to void warranties.
    • With the advances made in the industry units are becoming more complicated and expensive, resulting in higher service bills for repairs if regular preventive maintenance is not performed.
    • Even companies with their own in-house staff often do not have the expertise to maintain and fine tune a pre-stretcher which can result in wasted film and shipping unsecured loads.
  • G.A.P. Has designed a PM call during which a factory trained service technician will check your machine (no matter what make), and perform the following operations:
    • Oiling, greasing and lubrication (materials supplied).
    • Tighten all nuts, bolts, gears, chains and electrical connections.
    • Check for wear and abuse damage.
    • Check and recalibrate all systems to guarantee maximum operating and film use efficiency.
    • Check and report on all consumable and moving parts.
    • Test line voltages and amperage draw.
