In the stone industry, a single crack in a quartzite slab can cost you thousands of dollars. Yet, many fabricators still rely on rusty, homemade iron A-frames or rotting wooden bucks that wobble under the immense weight of 3cm stone. |
Granite and engineered quartz are significantly denser than glass. A fully loaded transport A-frame needs to withstand extreme point loads, especially when a forklift bounces over a rough fabrication yard. Wooden frames eventually loosen at the joints, leading to a catastrophic collapse.
Our Glass Transport Pallet is built from Q235 high-tensile steel with full-penetration welding. The chassis is rigid. It does not flex, twist, or bow, even when loaded to capacity with heavy slab bundles. This rigidity is your insurance policy against the "domino effect" of falling slabs.
Chipping the bottom edge of a slab during loading often ruins the entire piece.
Steel-reinforced EPDM rubber prevents chipping on polished edges.
As detailed in the image above, the base of our rack is lined with industrial EPDM rubber. Unlike carpet (which traps grit that scratches polished surfaces) or bare wood (which is too hard), this rubber provides the perfect balance of grip and cushion. It ensures that your expensive Calacatta Gold or Black Galaxy slabs sit securely without sliding, protecting that critical bottom edge from impact damage.
Stone yards are dynamic environments. You need equipment that can move from the bridge saw to the CNC machine, and then onto a delivery truck.
Because this system is a Collapsible Glass Storage Transport Rack, it offers dual functionality:
Yes. Our standard "L" type racks are designed to accommodate large format sheets. The open-ended design allows for slabs that are slightly longer than the rack to be transported safely, provided the center of gravity is managed.
Stone fabrication involves a lot of water. We recommend our Hot Dip Galvanized (HDG) finish for stone customers. This industrial coating makes the rack virtually immune to rust, even when constantly exposed to wet saws and outdoor storage.
The rack includes lateral securing poles (stop bars). For smaller pieces like backsplashes or vanity tops, you can sandwich them between larger slabs or use additional horizontal ratchet straps to bundle them securely against the A-frame.
The standard Work Load Limit (WLL) is typically 1,500kg (3,300 lbs). However, we can engineer heavy-duty versions rated for 2,000kg+ if you frequently transport thick bundles of 3cm granite.
Standard models have 2-way entry (long side). However, for stone yards with tight aisles, we offer a 4-way entry modification that allows forklifts to pick up the rack from the short ends as well.
