For international buyers sourcing Glass Storage Systems, the purchase price is only half the equation. The "invisible" cost of ocean freight can often exceed the value of the equipment itself if the racks are bulky and welded. |
A standard welded A-frame is triangular. When you load these into a 20ft or 40ft container, you are inevitably shipping a massive amount of empty space in the center of the racks. This inefficiency kills your profit margin.
Our Flat Glass Transport Racks are engineered to be shipped flat, as shown in the header image. By densely packing the base, uprights, and crossbars into compact bundles, we can fit up to 4 times more units in a single container compared to fully welded alternatives. For a distributor importing 50 racks, this translates to saving thousands of dollars in freight charges.
Some buyers worry that "knock-down" means "stripped down." That is not the case. Each of our flat-pack bundles is a complete kit.
As illustrated above, every unit comes pre-packaged with all necessary high-value accessories, including Heavy-Duty Ratchet Straps, timber-composite rubber profiles, and industrial castors. There is no need to source bolts or straps locally. Your team simply unbands the shipment, bolts the pre-drilled components together using standard tools, and the rack is ready for heavy industrial use immediately.
For large glass groups with multiple facilities, maintaining standardized equipment is key to operational safety. Our standardized flat-pack production ensures that a rack assembled in your New York facility is identical to one in your London branch.
This consistency simplifies safety training and maintenance protocols across your organization. Plus, the ability to store the racks in their flat-packed state means you can keep a "strategic reserve" of inventory without occupying valuable warehouse floor space, deploying them only when production peaks.
1. How many racks fit in a standard 40HQ container?
Depending on the specific model (e.g., 72" vs 96" length), we can typically load between 40 to 60 units in a 40-foot High Cube container.
2. Is the structural strength compromised by the bolt-together design?
No. We use Grade 8.8 high-tensile bolts and reinforced connection plates. Once torqued to specification, the frame rigidity is comparable to a welded unit.
3. Do you provide assembly instructions in English?
Yes, every shipment includes a detailed, step-by-step assembly manual with diagrams, ensuring your local team can assemble them without confusion.
4. How is the packaging secured to prevent sea damage?
We use steel banding and protective wrapping to bundle the components on steel pallets, ensuring they don't shift or scratch during rough ocean transits.
5. Can I order a mixed container of different sizes?
Absolutely. We can optimize the loading plan to mix different rack models (e.g., L-frames and A-frames) to maximize the container's volume utilization.
