(57) The present invention relates to a stretch wrapping machine comprising a base unit
(1) that in active position of the machine is intended to rest upon a foundation,
a rotatable turntable (3) arranged upon the base unit (1), a mast (5) arranged upon
the base unit (1), said mast (5) supporting a carriage (7) displaceable along the
mast (5), said carriage (7) in its turn supporting a stretch film unit (9). It is significant for the invention that the base unit (1) comprises at least four
elements (10-14), each element including a web, said elements (10-14) extending essentially
parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of the stretch wrapping machine,
that adjacent elements (10, 11 and 13, 14 respectively), along the longitudinal edges
of the stretch wrapping machine, between themselves define box girder constructions
that apart from said elements (10, 11 and 13, 14 respectively) also comprise essentially
parallel plates (19, 21 and 15, 23 respectively) being at a distance from each other,
said plates being connected with the elements (10, 11 and 13, 14 respectively) in
a suitable way, preferably by welding.
