Containment Force Tool
NEW & IMPROVED
CFT-6
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.
Both the CFT-5 and CFT-6 are listed in ASTM’s new industry standard 4649.
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.
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.
