An apparatus and method for manually applying stretch film to palletized loads or products comprises a vertically upstanding mast member, a horizontally extending static boom member connected to the mast member, a horizontally extending orbiting boom member rotatably connected to the static boom member, and a vertically extending downright member connected to the orbiting boom member. A carriage assembly carrying a roll of stretch film is movably mounted upon the downright member in a counterbalanced manner, and an operator handle is fixed upon the carriage assembly so as to enable an operator to manually push the carriage assembly, the downright member, and the orbiting boom member in a circular locus around a wrapping station at which a palletized load or product is disposed for wrapping. The mounting of the carriage assembly upon the downright member in the counterbalanced mode enables the operator to perform the manual wrapping of the palletized load or product without having to support the weight of the film roll and its core. In addition, the handle has an elongated vertical extent so as to enable the operator to wrap lowermost portions of the palletized load or product without having to bend or stoop.
