About the sound
This is a rotating floor upon which the worked places a fully loaded pallet. On the right side is a roll of plastic film that is used to fully cover the pallet in plastic. The floor rotates around while the roll of film moves up and down, and hence fully covers a pallet in plastic in just a few minutes. This makes the pallet ready for safe shipping or safe storage. The floor and roll is operated by a small lever.
Photographing of specific machines and materials was prohibited and so there will be few videos and pictures.
