Pallet stretch wrappers cost from around £3,000 for a manual turntable unit to £45,000 for a fully automatic ring wrapper such as the Robopac Masterplat handling 30 to 45 loads an hour.
Yes, stretch wrappers are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £3,000 to £45,000, and most deals are written over 24-72 months with a deposit of around 10-20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Check EligibilityA stretch wrapper is treated as plant and machinery for tax purposes, so it qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting a business deduct the full cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to the current £1,000,000 annual limit. Companies buying new, unused equipment may also qualify for full expensing, a 100% first-year deduction against Corporation Tax. These allowances apply where you own the asset, so they are available under a Hire Purchase agreement. Under a Finance Lease or Operating Lease you do not own the wrapper outright, so allowances are not claimed directly; instead the payments are generally deducted as a business expense against profits. Always confirm treatment with your accountant before committing to a structure.
Stretch wrappers are bought by warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturers to secure palletised goods for storage and transport, and are usually chosen to match a site's despatch volume, from a manual turntable for occasional pallets through to a fully automatic ring wrapper built into a conveyor line for continuous despatch. Buyers upgrading from a manual or semi-automatic machine are typically doing so to reduce film cost and wrap consistency issues rather than because the existing wrapper has failed, since turntable and ring wrapping mechanisms are mechanically simple and long-lived. Integration with an existing conveyor and film cost per load are usually the two factors that decide which specification a site actually needs.
