Preventive Maintenance (PM) Service

With the ever growing usage of stretch wrap, GAP 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.

GAP 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

Installations

We install what we sell! From the defined types of installations described below, to a customized scenario, we have the well trained and experienced people necessary to get the job done right.

• System Startup - Where the customer or a third party installer does the mechanical and electrical installation, and one of GAP's representative technicians arrives to perform the system power up, make necessary adjustments, run production trials, and provide training to operators and maintenance personnel.
• Supervisory Installation - Where a GAP representative technician arrives along with the equipment and assists the customer or a third party installer from the point of unloading the equipment, through mechanical and electrical installation, performing the system power up, making necessary adjustments, running production trials, and provide training to operators and maintenance personnel.
• Turnkey Installation - Where a team of GAP's representative technicians arrives with the equipment and provides the full installation services from unloading to training.

Retrofits

Often an older machine can be made more reliable and/or economical by retrofitting major subassemblies while retaining the bulk of the machine. We commonly retrofit Film Carriages, Cut/Seal mechanisms, upgrade PLC's, etc. Contact Us for a detailed evaluation and quote.

Rentals

This is yet another area in which GAP seperates itself from our competition. When faced with a short term crisis' due to temporary business surges or equipment failure, GAP can often fill your short term needs with one of our rental stretchwrappers. Our rental fleet consists of brand new and fully reconditioned and maintained stretchwrappers. We also offer a Rent-To-Own program which can often serve to address your justification issues. Our Rental Manager will be pleased to discuss your requirement with you, through transportation/shipping, setup, billing and financing needs.
