Auto-tie and closed-door balers produce dense, heavy bales. When integrity breaks down — due to poor tying, deformation, or improper discharge support — the risk shifts to operators and forklift drivers.

Safe bale production requires:

• Proper compaction

• Consistent tying

• Supported discharge (bale slides / tables)

• Correct stacking patterns

• Trailer inspection before loading

Facilities that treat bale quality as a safety metric reduce both injuries and chargebacks.
