In heavy industry, "standard" is often a synonym for "compromise." A glass rack that is too tall blocks your line of sight; one that is too wide clogs your aisles. |
Not all steel is created equal. Many budget racks use thin-wall commercial tubing that flexes under load. This "bowing" effect can cause glass sheets to pinch or crack due to stress concentration.
Our racks are constructed using Q235A High-Grade Carbon Steel. This material is selected for its superior yield strength and ductility. When we engineer a rack for heavy-duty industrial application, we calculate the static and dynamic loads to ensure the frame remains rigid. This rigidity is critical—it ensures that the slots remain perfectly parallel, preventing the "pinching" effect that destroys expensive IGU units.
Structural rigidity is paramount: Parallel slots prevent stress on glass edges.
One size never fits all in glass. A rack designed for 4mm automotive glass is useless for 25mm laminated security glass. The "gap" matters.
We offer Custom Slot Specifications. We don't just ask "how many slots?"; we ask "what is your glass makeup?". By adjusting the pitch (spacing) of the dividers, we can optimize density. For a line running exclusively double-glazed units, we widen the slot to 25mm. For a raw glass sorting line, we tighten it to 10mm. This engineering precision allows you to store 30% more product in the same footprint compared to a generic "one-size" rack.
Industrial equipment wears out. A welded rack is a "disposable" asset—once a base bar bends or a divider breaks, the whole rack is scrap.
Our engineering philosophy centers on Modularity. The uprights, base channels, and caster plates are bolted assemblies using Grade 8.8 high-tensile fasteners. If a forklift damages a side beam, you unbolt it and replace it. You don't throw away the rack. This significantly lowers the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over a 10-year period.
Modular engineering allows for easy part replacement and compact shipping.
Yes. Because we control the engineering design, we can adjust the caster height or base frame dimensions to ensure the rack deck aligns perfectly with your cutting table or furnace off-load conveyor, enabling seamless sliding transfers.
We typically engineer to a minimum safety factor of 1.5x to 2.0x the rated load. This accounts for dynamic forces (bumps, sudden stops) that occur when moving heavy glass across a factory floor.
Absolutely. For custom orders, we provide detailed technical drawings (like the one shown above) for your engineering team to verify dimensions, slot counts, and material specs before we cut a single piece of steel.
Standard finish is an industrial-grade electrostatic powder coating (proven for durability). For high-humidity environments or outdoor storage, we can offer Hot-Dip Galvanized finishes to prevent corrosion.
Most structural parts are unique to our design, but we keep them in stock. However, consumables like casters often use standard industrial mounting plate patterns, allowing you to source local replacements in an emergency if needed.
