If you are exporting glass or windows internationally, you are paying for every cubic meter of shipping container space. Traditional wooden crates are bulky, non-stackable, and often require expensive fumigation to meet customs regulations. |
International shipping regulations (ISPM 15) demand that all wooden packaging be heat-treated or fumigated to prevent the spread of pests. This adds cost and lead time to every shipment. Worse, if paperwork is missing at the destination port, your entire container can be quarantined or rejected.
Our folding glass shipping racks are made of 100% industrial steel and vulcanized rubber. They are inherently exempt from ISPM 15 regulations. This means your shipment flows through customs smoothly, whether it's arriving in Rotterdam, Long Beach, or Sydney, eliminating the risk of demurrage charges due to packaging non-compliance.
Ocean transit is harsh. Temperature fluctuations inside a container cause condensation, known as "container rain." Wooden crates absorb this moisture, becoming weak and prone to mold, which can stain your glass.
As shown in the image above, our racks feature a steel chassis with non-porous rubber profiles. They are impervious to humidity. The steel is finished with a high-grade coating (or optional Hot Dip Galvanization) to resist salt air corrosion, ensuring your glass arrives in pristine condition, ready for immediate installation or sale.
The most expensive air in the world is the empty space inside a shipping container.
Stack loaded racks 2-high inside a High Cube container to double your payload density.
Unlike wooden A-frames that are difficult to stack safely, our racks are engineered for verticality. For standard sized glass, you can stack loaded racks two high inside a 40ft High Cube container. This effectively doubles the square footage of glass you can ship in a single box, slashing your per-unit freight cost by up to 50%.
The efficiency is unmatched. You can typically fit between 200 to 250 folded racks in a single 40ft shipping container (depending on the specific rack model). This makes the "return logistics" extremely cost-effective for closed-loop supply chains.
Yes. Our standard export model typically has a width of 1100mm or 2200mm (lengthwise), specifically calculated to maximize the 2350mm internal width of a standard ISO container, leaving just enough clearance for loading without wasted space.
Absolutely. The racks feature fork pockets on the long side and the short end (optional 4-way entry). This allows you to end-load them into a container using a standard forklift or a container stuffing ramp.
Yes. For ocean transport, we highly recommend Hot Dip Galvanization. This finish provides the best protection against saltwater corrosion and ensures the racks remain rust-free even after weeks at sea.
No assembly tools are needed. The racks arrive folded. Your team simply lifts the side posts, locks them into place with the integrated pins, and they are ready to use in less than 60 seconds.
