Full Seam Weld A-Frame Racks

When you are moving 3,000 lbs of laminated architectural glass or expensive Low-E units, "spot welding" is a liability you cannot afford. A structural failure isn't just a financial write-off; it's a catastrophic safety hazard for your glazing team. Our Full Seam Weld A-Frame Racks are engineered to eliminate the "fall shadow," ensuring that from the CNC cutting table to the installation site, your glass remains pristine and your workers remain safe.

In the glass fabrication industry, vibration is the enemy. Whether it's a forklift moving across an uneven warehouse floor or a truck navigating a construction site, dynamic stress tests the joints of your racks constantly. Many generic racks rely on spot welds (tack welds) which are prone to tearing under the heavy, shifting load of dense materials like bulletproof glass or thick granite slabs.

We utilize a comprehensive Full Seam Welding Process on high-grade Q235 steel. This means the weld runs the entire length of the joint, creating a bond as strong as the steel itself. This structural rigidity prevents the frame from twisting, which is the primary cause of glass delamination and stress cracks during transport.

Reinforced Q235 steel base structure designed to withstand heavy static and dynamic loads.

The most critical moment for a glass transport rack is not just holding the weight, but protecting the finish. For processors handling Low-E soft coats, a single scratch from an exposed metal burr means the entire unit is scrap. Furthermore, "shelling" or edge chipping is often a precursor to thermal breakage once the glass hits the tempering furnace.

Our racks feature premium industrial rubber profiles and composite timber/rubber base blocks. Unlike simple wood stripping which can degrade and collect abrasive debris, our rubber profiles provide a clean, high-friction grip that prevents sheets from sliding while cushioning the delicate edges against road shock.

High-grade industrial rubber profiles ensure zero metal-to-glass contact.

Waiting for the overhead crane is one of the biggest downtime causes in a busy glass factory. By equipping our racks with heavy-duty Nylon or Polyurethane castors, we turn static storage into a mobile WIP (Work In Progress) system.

Operators can manually maneuver cut sheets from the CNC cutting table to the washing machine or edging station without requiring a crane lift for every movement. This fluidity significantly reduces cycle times for Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) assembly lines.

Heavy-duty castors allow for flexible movement between processing stations.

For Glaziers Contractors and distributors, the cost of return logistics can eat into project margins. Shipping empty, bulky racks back to the plant is shipping air. Our design addresses this with a fully collapsible, stackable architecture.

When empty, the A-frames can be folded down, allowing you to stack multiple units safely. This maximizes your truck or container space, significantly reducing the freight cost per unit and keeping your warehouse organized when inventory fluctuates.

Stackable design reduces storage footprint and return shipping costs.

Gravity alone isn't enough when transporting glass sheets. Our racks come integrated with a robust securing system. This includes lateral limit rods and ratchet straps that apply even pressure to the glass pack. This prevents individual sheets from "chattering" against each other, which is a primary cause of surface abrasion and breakage during transit.

Adjustable steel limit rods provide essential lateral support during transport.
