In the fabrication of high-performance architectural glass, the margin for error is microscopic. "Soft coat" Low-E glass is notoriously susceptible to surface damage. A single scratch during internal transport often means scrapping the entire unit. |
Traditional transport methods often rely on stacking glass sheets against one another, separated only by separation powder or cork pads. While efficient for bulk storage, this is risky for work-in-progress (WIP) transfer. Vibration during movement can cause micro-abrasions, especially on coated surfaces.
Our mobile carts utilize a tensioned divider system. Each steel rod is encased in a thick, industrial-grade PVC sleeve. This design serves two functions:
Safety managers often overlook the risks of rolling equipment. A fully loaded cart can weigh over 1,500 kg. Standard wheel brakes rely on friction between the tire and the floor. If the floor is slick with cutting fluid or water—common in edging zones—wheel brakes can fail, leading to runaway carts or crushing hazards.
We integrated a Foot-Actuated Lifting Mechanism into our chassis. Instead of just braking the wheel, this pedal system mechanically lifts the entire rack off its casters and onto fixed rubber pads. This effectively "anchors" the cart to the ground, providing absolute stability during loading and unloading.
The foot-pedal mechanism lifts the rack onto stable pads, ensuring zero movement during loading.
Efficiency isn't just about moving fast; it's about reducing decision fatigue for operators. Since our carts support custom RAL color powder coating, forward-thinking plant managers use them as visual signals:
This simple visual cue allows a forklift driver or line supervisor to assess the status of the production floor instantly, without checking a single tag.
Absolutely. The frame is constructed from Q235A carbon steel, and we can reinforce the base and upgrade the casters to handle extreme loads typical of the security glazing sector.
The PVC is extremely durable, but like any wear component, it may eventually need replacement after years of heavy use. The sleeves are designed to be replaceable without scrapping the rack.
We install industrial rubber buffer strips at the backstop of each slot. Additionally, the slotted base design creates a natural channel that keeps the glass centered and secure.
Yes. While standard units are sized for common lites, we frequently engineer extended-height and extended-length carts for fabricators handling Jumbo (3.2m x 6m) or split-jumbo sheets.
Concertina racks expand and contract, which is good for storage density but mechanically complex and prone to jamming. Our fixed-slot harp design is more robust, has no moving parts to fail, and offers consistent protection.
