For commercial glazing contractors, nothing kills profitability faster than a "Rejected" tag on a delivered unitized curtain wall panel. Protruding mullions, delicate thermal breaks, and expensive PVDF finishes make stacking these units a logistical nightmare. If you are still relying on wood dunnage and strapping, you are inviting surface damage. Upgrade to a dedicated system designed for precision Window and Door Transport Stacking to ensure your product arrives at the job site in showroom condition. |
Architectural aluminum finishes are tough, but they aren't invincible. Vibration during truck transport can cause metal-on-metal rubbing, wearing through protective films in hours.
The Agrack system eliminates this risk through its Steel-Core EPDM Rubber Protection. As shown in the detail shot below, the entire bottom bearing surface is lined with a heavy-duty rubber profile. Unlike glued foam that peels off, this rubber is mechanically locked to the chassis. It provides a high-friction, non-abrasive bed that grips the window frame firmly, preventing the micro-movements that cause transit abrasion.
Mechanically locked EPDM rubber strips prevent damage to delicate powder-coated or anodized aluminum surfaces.
Modern energy codes mean triple-glazed units and heavy thermally broken frames. A single unitized panel can weigh over 500 lbs. Stacking these requires a structural backbone that wood simply cannot provide.
Our racks feature reinforced Q235 steel uprights (see below). These aren't standard fence posts; they are engineered structural members capable of supporting dynamic side loads. This rigidity allows you to strap tall, heavy panels securely without the rack flexing. When you crane-lift the rack to the 20th floor, the geometry stays true, ensuring the glass remains stress-free during the hoist.
Industrial-strength uprights resist flexing, ensuring safe crane lifting of heavy unitized wall panels.
Damaged frames don't just cost money to repair; they delay the building envelope closure and hold up payment.
By adopting a professional Window and Door Transport Stacking strategy, you demonstrate to the General Contractor (GC) and the Architect that you are a Tier-1 provider. Your products arrive organized, vertical, and pristine. This reduces on-site sorting time and drastically cuts down the "remedial work" items on your final punch list, helping you get your retainage check faster.
Yes. The open design allows for flexible spacing. We can also provide custom separator bars or "finger" dividers to ensure that handles from one unit don't touch the glass of the next.
Our EPDM rubber is neutral and non-reactive. However, for specific structural glazing sealants, we can provide material data sheets to your chemical supplier for compatibility verification.
This depends on the profile depth. Typically, a standard rack can hold 6-10 unitized panels. The open L-shape or A-frame design maximizes density while keeping each unit accessible.
Yes. We manufacture extended-length racks (up to 4 meters or more) specifically for "double-span" curtain wall mullions, ensuring they are supported along the full length to prevent bowing.
Absolutely. The racks are designed with certified lifting points for tower cranes, allowing you to deliver batches of windows directly to the active installation deck.
