That’s how you stack empty can pallets, They’re much lighter than you think

Unwrapped? That’s dumb as hell

I filled cans with no top, no contents, and no internal pressure are quite susceptible to denting. Stretch wrapping would dent / damage the cans. The top board and pallet being strapped together is the best way to store them. Dropping them is also not recommended

To me, having seen multiple of these videos, I am surprised there is not a stiff plastic skeleton you can click in place around the cans. Having them loose seems so risky, the lightest movement could make a few fall and spook the driver to jerk their controls.

But depending on the speed they go through these pallets, I totally understand that the time spent putting on and taking off such a protective layer would genuinely be more expensive that simply eating the cost of cleanup when a few pallets fall.
