Also available is a "Shrink Band Tunnel Stand"
. The top mounted stand attaches to any of LATTER'S Shrink Band tunnels and, with its 5" swivel locking casters, allows for effortless movement. Furthermore, to help in positioning, the hand crank scissors-jack easily raises and lowers the tunnel over a conveyor.
