Finished Electrostatic Sprayed A-Frame Glass Racks ready for deployment

Stop compromising your high-value Soft-coat Low-E and Curved Toughened Glass with inferior storage. Rust particles from standard painted racks can contaminate your PVB interlayers, and rough welds cause catastrophic edge chipping. Our Electrostatic Sprayed A-Frames provide the clean, medical-grade surface finish your glazing line demands, backed by structural steel that handles the heaviest architectural sheets without bowing.

The Hidden Cost of "Cheap" Paint in Glass Processing

In a high-end glazing facility, contamination is the enemy. Standard wet paint on a steel rack often peels after a few months of contact with glass edges and forklifts. If you are processing Laminated Glass, even a speck of rust or paint flake falling onto the glass before it enters the autoclave can result in a rejected unit due to inclusions.

We utilize a premium Electrostatic Spraying (Powder Coating) process. This creates a hard, uniform skin over the Q235 steel. It resists the abrasion of constant loading and unloading, ensuring that your clean room standards are met right up to the Tempering Furnace entrance.

Protecting the "Edge" During Transport

The edge of a glass sheet is its most vulnerable point. When transporting Double Glazed Units or heavy Granite Slabs, movement is inevitable. If the rack structure flexes or the holding mechanism is loose, you risk "shelling" or cracks running from the edge.

Our A Frame Glass steel rack systems feature integrated securing bars (Limited Rods). Unlike makeshift rope ties, these steel bars provide rigid, adjustable support that locks the glass pack against the A-frame, preventing the lateral shifts that cause breakage during truck transport.

Mobilize Your Workflow: From Cutting to Tempering

Are your CNC Cutting Tables waiting idle because the overhead crane is busy elsewhere? This is a common bottleneck in glass factories. By equipping your racks with heavy-duty industrial castors, you transform static storage into a dynamic A-frame trolley system.

We use high-load Polyurethane or Nylon wheels designed to roll smoothly over concrete factory floors, even when loaded with 4,000 lbs of glass. This allows operators to manually position glass at the Edging Machine or Washing Machine without waiting for a forklift or crane.

Optimization for Shipping and Storage

For glazing contractors and exporters, shipping "air" is a major cost drain. Traditional welded racks take up immense volume in shipping containers or return trucks. Our engineering team has perfected the detachable/collapsible design.

When not in use, or during return logistics, these racks can be folded or dismantled to stack compactly. This capability can increase your container loading efficiency by up to 80%, directly impacting your bottom line when shipping architectural glass internationally.

Frequently Asked Questions (Glass Industry)

1. Is the rubber padding safe for Soft-coat Low-E glass?

Yes. We use specific non-marking industrial rubber compounds and high-density polymer strips designed to grip the glass without abrading sensitive coatings like Low-E. This prevents the "clouding" or scratches often seen with inferior pads.

2. Can these racks handle the weight of 19mm Granite or heavy Laminated Glass?

Absolutely. Our racks are engineered using Q235 structural steel and employ a Full Welding Process (not spot welding). We calculate the SWL (Safe Working Load) based on the density of glass/stone to ensure no structural failure occurs under heavy loads.

3. How does the electrostatic finish compare to hot-dip galvanizing?

Hot-dip galvanizing offers the ultimate corrosion resistance for outdoor storage, but the surface can be rough. Electrostatic spraying provides a smoother surface which is better for indoor factory hygiene and protecting glass surfaces, while still offering excellent rust resistance.

4. Do you offer custom sizes for oversized Jumbo sheets?

Yes. We understand that architectural projects often require non-standard dimensions. We can customize the base length, A-frame height, and inclination angle to safely accommodate Jumbo sheets or specific curved glass radii.

5. How are the racks packaged for international shipping?

We utilize a Flat-pack method. Racks are dismantled or folded to maximize container space. This significantly reduces your unit shipping cost compared to importing fully welded voluminous racks.
