For manufacturers of commercial display cases and supermarket refrigeration units, the internal glass panels are both the most visible and the most fragile components of the finished product. Maintaining an efficient assembly line requires a seamless flow of these panels from the tempering furnace to the final unit integration. High-quality glass storage racks provide a standardized material handling interface that protects sensitive low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings while ensuring that inventory is organized and ready for just-in-time (JIT) production. |
In the commercial display industry, even the slightest hairline scratch on a refrigerator door can lead to a rejected unit. Most traditional storage methods rely on makeshift wooden spacers or adhesive foam that can trap grit and debris. Our specialized glass storage racks utilize industrial-grade rubber strips that are mechanically fastened to the steel frame. This ensures that the glass only makes contact with clean, high-friction rubber, preventing the sliding and surface-to-surface abrasion that often occurs during transit through a busy manufacturing floor.
Modern appliance factories are high-traffic environments where forklift movement and overhead cranes are constant. Standard wooden crates are prone to tipping and cannot be safely stacked, leading to "floor clutter" that slows down production. The Q235 steel construction of our racks provides a rigid, interlocking base that allows for safe three-high stacking of loaded panels. This vertical organization clears aisle space, improves visibility for forklift operators, and creates a much safer working zone for assembly personnel who need to access specific glass sizes quickly.
Refrigeration manufacturers must often maintain a large inventory of spare glass panels for aftermarket service. Storing these components in traditional crates consumes an enormous amount of footprint. The collapsible design of our storage system allows facilities to maximize their storage density. When panels are pulled for shipping, the empty racks are folded down, allowing you to reclaim 80% of the floor space. This modularity is essential for manufacturers who need to balance active production needs with the long-term storage of replacement inventory.
Commercial refrigeration often involves complex glass shapes, including curved deli-case fronts and oversized walk-in cooler doors. Fixed-dimension crates often fail to support these varied shapes correctly. The modularity of a steel rack system allows for the adjustment of vertical supports and bracing, ensuring that curved glass is supported at its strongest points. This adaptability reduces the internal stress on the glass during storage, preventing the spontaneous breakage that can occur when heavy glass is improperly supported for long periods.
Yes. With a 2,000kg load capacity, these racks are more than capable of supporting the multi-layered, tempered glass units typically found in commercial freezer and walk-in cooler applications.
The base beam features thick, high-density rubber pads (as seen in our technical details) that absorb the impact when glass is loaded. This cushioning is critical for preventing edge chips that could compromise the integrity of the panel.
Absolutely. The four-way forklift pockets and crane lifting points allow for seamless movement between the glass processing area, the curing station, and the final assembly line, reducing manual handling touches.
The racks are constructed from Q235 steel with a high-quality industrial coating, making them resistant to the moisture and temperature fluctuations common in refrigeration manufacturing and storage facilities.
While our standard racks fit most needs, the modular design can be adjusted. We regularly work with manufacturers to ensure the vertical columns and support widths are optimized for their specific product dimensions.
