Is your breakage rate eating into your margins?

For a glass fabricator, a rack isn't just storage—it's an insurance policy for your Low-E units and a flow accelerator for your tempering line. Stop relying on spot-welded generic racks that risk collapsing under the weight of 19mm laminated sheets. Upgrade to a solution engineered specifically for the deep processing workflow. |
In the glass and glazing industry, the gap between profit and loss is often measured in scratches and chips. Whether you are handling jumbo sheets of raw float glass or delivering finished double glazed units to a commercial site, the equipment you use defines your efficiency. Industrial A-Frame Racks are not merely steel structures; they are the backbone of a streamlined fabrication plant.
We know the sinking feeling of seeing a scratch on a finished Low-E unit. The soft coating is notoriously sensitive. Standard metal racks without proper isolation are a primary cause of rejected glass.
The Mgrack Solution: We don't just paint steel; we engineer a protective ecosystem. Our racks feature industrial-grade rubber protection strips and plywood composite layers on all contact points. This ensures that your high-value Low-E glass or delicate laminated glass never touches raw metal, preserving the integrity of the coating and preventing edge flaking.
High-durability rubber strips designed to protect sensitive glass coatings.
How often is your CNC cutting table or polishing machine waiting because the overhead crane is occupied? Relying solely on cranes for shop floor movement creates unnecessary downtime.
The Workflow Shift: By utilizing mobile A-Frame racks equipped with heavy-duty castors, you create a "rolling WIP warehouse." Operators can manually maneuver cut glass from the breakout table directly to the edging machine or stage it securely in front of the glass tempering furnace without waiting for a forklift or crane. This fluidity is essential for maintaining high OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) in modern IGU lines.
Heavy-duty polyurethane castors allow for smooth transit of heavy glass loads across the factory floor.
For glass distributors and large-scale glazing contractors, shipping costs are a massive overhead. Shipping fully welded, empty racks is essentially paying to ship air. This is where the ROI of your equipment becomes critical.
The ROI Logic: Our detachable (knock-down) Industrial A-Frame Racks are designed for the global market. They can be flat-packed, allowing you to load significantly more units into a standard 40ft container compared to welded alternatives. Once at your facility or the job site, they assemble quickly with high-strength bolts, maintaining the structural rigidity of a welded rack while slashing your freight cost per unit.
Detachable design allows for high-density stacking, reducing shipping volume and storage footprint when empty.
When you are storing 4,000 lbs of stone slabs or heavy architectural glass, a structural failure is not an inconvenience—it's a catastrophe. Many generic racks rely on spot welding to cut manufacturing costs. This creates weak points that can zipper-fail under dynamic loads.
The Mgrack Standard: We utilize a Full Seam Welding Process for all structural joints. We do not use spot welding on critical load-bearing areas. Whether you choose our Q235 steel painted finish or the hot-dip galvanized option for outdoor longevity, the core structure is built to exceed safety standards, eliminating the "fall shadow" risk for your workers.
Secure loading of fully loaded A-frames, supported by a fully welded structural base.
Yes. While designed with the surface protection needed for glass, the structural Q235 steel and full welding process make them ideal for heavy stone and granite slabs. We can adjust the Weight Load Limit (WLL) specifications to meet your specific stone inventory needs.
Absolutely. For glaziers storing inventory in outdoor yards or for transport racks exposed to road salts, we highly recommend our Hot-Dip Galvanized finish. It offers decades of rust protection compared to standard powder coating.
The impact is minimal compared to the freight savings. Our design uses a simplified bolt-on system. A small team can assemble a rack in minutes using standard tools, making it a viable solution even for temporary job sites.
Yes, but specification matters. We offer various wheel materials. For high-temperature areas or rough shop floors, we recommend specific high-grade polyurethane or heat-resistant nylon castors. Please specify your operating environment when ordering.
Yes. As a direct manufacturer, we frequently customize dimensions to accommodate "Jumbo" or "Over-sized" sheets used in commercial curtain walls. We can adjust the length, height, and ledge width to fit your specific glass sizes.
