In the facade industry, construction delays are inevitable. When a high-rise site isn't ready for delivery, your factory floor quickly becomes a bottleneck of finished double-glazed units. Moving this high-value inventory to an outdoor yard is often the only option, but it exposes your glass to two deadly enemies: **Rust and Wind**. |
Using standard painted factory carts for outdoor storage is a recipe for disaster. Moisture wicks into the steel joints, causing rapid corrosion that can stain your glass edges or weaken the structure.
Our Exterior Storage Solutions offer upgraded finish options, including Hot-Dip Galvanizing, which provides a metallurgical bond zinc coating. This sacrificial layer prevents rust even in wet, humid climates. Furthermore, our contact profiles use weather-resistant rubber that won't crack or degrade under UV exposure, ensuring your glass rests on a compliant surface even after months of storage.
Rapidly deploy or stow away your outdoor fleet: 8 folded racks occupy the footprint of just one assembled unit.
Large curtain wall units or jumbo glass sheets act as giant sails in the wind. A sudden gust in an open storage yard can easily tip over a standard A-frame, leading to a catastrophic domino effect of broken glass.
Safety in the yard requires positive mechanical retention. The **Mgrack Integrated Ratchet System** clamps the glass pack tightly against the frame structure, negating the leverage caused by wind pressure. Combined with our widened base footprint option, this significantly lowers the center of gravity, ensuring stability even during gale-force weather events.
Essential for outdoor safety: High-tension ratchet straps prevent wind gusts from destabilizing large glass sheets.
Facade manufacturing is cyclical. You might need 100 racks this month for a mega-project, and only 20 next month. Renting external warehouse space is expensive and logistically complex.
The stackable design of our racks (as seen in the images above) allows you to dynamically adjust your storage capacity. When the project ships, the empty racks can be collapsed and stacked neatly in a corner of the yard, protected by a tarpaulin, ready for the next surge in production. This flexibility transforms your fixed asset costs into a scalable logistics advantage.
If you choose our Hot-Dip Galvanized finish option, yes. They are designed to withstand years of outdoor exposure without structural corrosion. Standard powder coating is suitable for short-term outdoor use but should be covered.
For outdoor yards with asphalt or compacted gravel, we recommend our "Skid Base" option or larger diameter outdoor castors which distribute the weight over a larger surface area to prevent sinking.
Yes, the webbing material used in our integrated straps is treated for UV resistance. However, for prolonged outdoor storage (months), we recommend covering the straps or inspecting them regularly for sun damage.
Stability depends on the load weight and glass dimensions. For areas prone to high winds, we offer custom engineering services to calculate the necessary base width and counterweight requirements.
No. The stacking feature is strictly for empty racks to save space during return transport or storage. Loaded racks must always be placed on the ground level for safety.
