You track your furnace yield. You monitor your cutting optimization down to the millimeter. But are you tracking the "space in between"? |
In a high-mix, low-volume production environment—common for custom architectural glass—efficiency is defined by flow. If your tempering furnace is running at 100% capacity but your downstream IGU line is waiting for glass because of disorganized sorting, your total throughput suffers.
Traditional A-frames or wooden crates are static. They take up massive floor space even when empty and make sorting specific orders a nightmare. This "Intralogistics Gap" leads to double-handling, which increases the statistical probability of scratches and edge chips.
Our Harp Racks act as a mobile Work-In-Process (WIP) buffer. By utilizing a high-density vertical slot system, you can sort orders sequentially right off the cutting table. The rolling base allows a single operator to move heavy loads to the next station safely, reducing crane dependency and clearing bottlenecks instantly.
High-density vertical storage minimizes footprint while maximizing organization.
If you are importing equipment, you know that Ocean Freight is often the most painful line item. Importing fully welded racks is essentially paying to ship "air." You might fit 10-15 welded racks in a container, making the freight cost per unit astronomically high.
We engineered the Hrack with a Knock-Down (Detachable) Design to solve this specific financial inefficiency. By flat-packing the base, uprights, and numbering systems, we can load 4x to 5x more units into a standard 40ft container compared to welded alternatives.
A common misconception is that bolted assemblies are weaker. This is false in industrial engineering when done correctly. We use Grade 8.8 High-Tensile bolts and Q235A carbon steel to ensure the assembled structure has the same rigidity as a welded frame. The result? You get a heavy-duty, industrial-grade rack for a fraction of the Total Landed Cost because you aren't paying to ship empty space.
Mobile bases with industrial casters allow for flexible plant layout reconfiguration.
Not all harp racks are created equal. Many budget options use simple "strips" at the bottom to hold the glass. This works for standard sheets but is a disaster for off-cuts or custom shapes, which can slip through the gaps and crack.
We utilize a Full-Base Design with precision-machined slots. This continuous floor ensures that even small or odd-shaped glass pieces have full bottom support. Combined with high-durability PVC or Nylon guide numbers, the glass surface never touches metal. This isolation is critical for high-value coated glass (Low-E) where even a micro-scratch leads to a rejection.
No. We utilize industrial Grade 8.8 locking bolts and serrated safety washers designed specifically for dynamic load environments. Once assembled and torqued to specification, the frame maintains structural rigidity comparable to a fully welded unit, even under constant heavy use.
Absolutely. The racks are constructed from high-quality Q235A Carbon Steel. The "Full Base" design distributes weight evenly across the structure, allowing it to safely support heavy, multi-pane IGU units or thick laminated glass without bowing or instability.
We use a dual-protection system. First, the base slots are lined to prevent bottom chipping. Second, the uprights feature PVC or Nylon numbering sleeves that physically separate each glass sheet. There is zero glass-to-glass or glass-to-metal contact, ensuring your Low-E coatings remain pristine.
Yes. Unlike standard "one-size-fits-all" racks, we offer customization for slot width. Whether you are storing thin 3mm automotive glass or thick triple-glazed units, we can adjust the grid spacing to maximize your storage density while ensuring a safe fit.
A Full Base offers a continuous floor for the glass to rest on. This is crucial for high-mix manufacturers who handle various sizes. Strip bases leave gaps where smaller or odd-shaped glass can slip through and break. Our Full Base guarantees 100% support for any piece of glass you place in the rack.
