Getting it right just got easier. In 2012, Lantech introduced the CFT-5, a handheld measuring device that improved the accuracy of containment force readings. An enhanced version, the CFT-6, is designed to streamline this process. Structurally and functionally similar to the CFT-5, the CFT-6 minimizes reading variation and is easier to operate at the top, middle and bottom of the load. KEY UPGRADES • A measuring cable, made of hard plastic: doesn’t sag or get tangled during use. • A color-coded feature that shows when the indicator foot is in contact with the film: frees the operator from having to monitor two functions simultaneously. • A redesigned digital scale: easier to handle and operate. • Three measurement display modes: pounds and ounces, kilos, and tenths of a pound. • Three operating modes include a “Peak” reading: eliminates readout fluctuation. Both the CFT-5 and CFT-6 are listed in ASTM’s new industry

CONTAINMENT FORCE Containment Force is the total force applied to your load at a given point. Containment Force is produced by wrap force (tightness) multiplied by the number of stretch film revolutions. It’s the key specification in reducing damage and ensuring safe-to-ship loads. “Experience has proven the value of measuring containment force. Established wrap parameters need to be confirmed to ensure load safety; doing so quickly and with a high degree of accuracy is essential in busy shipping operations.” - Lantech Founder and Chairman Pat Lancaster LANTECH’S CONTAINMENT FORCE GUIDE: For...
