Handling large glass panels inherently involves risk. Scratches, chips, or even complete breakage during storage and transport can lead to significant financial losses and project delays. Recognizing this critical challenge, the Hrack Harp Glass Rack is engineered with multiple layers of protection, making it a leader in safe glass handling. Our full base harp racks offer the ultimate in security and stability.
One of the primary risks occurs during insertion and retrieval. The Hrack addresses this with a thoughtful design. Its angled supports are coated with a specialized PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) sheathing. This material is not just durable; it possesses excellent flexibility and elasticity, acting as a cushion. Should a panel shift or make contact during placement, the PVB absorbs the impact, effectively preventing scratches and stress fractures that rigid supports might cause.
Furthermore, uncontrolled movement during insertion is mitigated by a backstop baffle and strategically placed rubber pads. These elements gently halt the glass panel at the correct depth within the slot, preventing it from sliding too far and potentially cracking against the frame or other panels.
Transporting glass across a busy facility floor introduces another set of hazards. The Hrack ensures stability during movement with its robust wheel system and, crucially, a unique foot-pedal operated locking mechanism. When engaged, a top rod gently but firmly secures the stored glass panels, preventing them from shifting or sliding out, even when navigating uneven surfaces or making turns. This significantly reduces the chance of accidents during internal logistics, a key benefit of our full base harp racks.
By integrating these specific safety features – impact-absorbing PVB supports, controlled insertion guides, and secure transport locking – the Hrack Harp Rack offers peace of mind. For a comprehensive solution, our full base harp racks provide a complete foundation for secure storage and transport.
