Your Low-E glass coatings are too valuable to be scratched by inferior padding, and your CNC glass cutting table shouldn't be a bottleneck waiting for an overhead crane.

In a high-volume glass fabrication plant, the flow of materials from the wholesale float glass storage to the final dispatch of double glazed units defines your profitability. Every time a worker manually handles a sheet, or a forklift waits for clearance, your cost per unit increases.
The Mgrack system is not just a storage unit; it is a workflow integration tool designed to bridge the gap between your glass tempering furnace and your dispatch bay.
The Pain Point: Handling high-performance Low-E glass or soft-coated architectural glass is nerve-wracking. Standard metal racks often have exposed welds or hard surfaces that cause micro-scratches on the coating, rendering the entire sheet useless for IGU machinery production.
Our Solution: We utilize a proprietary protection system. The load-bearing surfaces are lined with industrial-grade rubber profiles or a plywood-rubber composite. This ensures that delicate coatings never touch raw steel.
Detail: High-density rubber protection strips designed to protect soft coatings.
The Pain Point: Relying solely on overhead cranes to move glass from the glass cutting table to the edging machine or washer creates a "stop-and-wait" production line. It reduces the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) of your expensive machinery.
Our Solution: By deploying mobile glass storage racks equipped with heavy-duty castors, you transform your static WIP into a fluid stream. Operators can manually position racks at the offloading end of the cutting line without waiting for a crane, keeping the line moving.
Heavy-duty polyurethane castors ensure smooth movement even under full loads of laminated glass.
The Pain Point: Whether you are transporting curved toughened glass or heavy granite slabs, shifting loads during forklift movement is a major safety hazard. A rack without proper restraint allows sheets to slide, leading to catastrophic tipping or breakage.
Our Solution: Every heavy duty glass rack comes with integrated cargo securing systems. We use industrial ratchet straps (belts) that pull the glass tight against the A-frame structure, along with steel limit rods (stop bars) to prevent lateral sliding.
Integrated ratchet straps provide essential tension to keep glass sheets immobile during transport.
The Pain Point: Shipping empty racks back from the construction site or importing racks for your facility incurs massive freight costs. A fully welded, non-collapsible rack means you are mostly paying to ship air.
Our Solution: We offer a detachable/knock-down design. These units provide the structural rigidity of a welded frame when assembled but can be dismantled into a flat-pack state. This allows you to stack dozens of units into a compact footprint for return logistics or storage when not in use.
Maximizing container loading: 8 sets of dismantled racks occupy minimal warehouse space.
Q1: Can your racks handle the weight of 19mm thick laminated glass or granite slabs?
Yes. Our heavy duty glass racks are engineered using Q235 carbon steel with full welding seams (not spot welds). We can customize the load capacity to exceed 4,000 lbs (approx. 1800 kg) or more, specifically for heavy stone and thick laminated glass applications.
Q2: Will the rubber padding react with the interlayer of my laminated glass?
No. We use industrial-grade, non-reactive rubber or EPDM materials that are tested to be chemically neutral, ensuring no delamination or discoloration occurs at the contact points with the PVB interlayer.
Q3: Can these racks be used inside a glass tempering furnace area?
For high-temperature environments near the offloading section of a tempering furnace, we recommend our steel-wheeled or high-temp nylon castor versions. Standard rubber wheels may degrade if constantly exposed to extreme radiant heat from freshly tempered glass.
Q4: Do you offer custom sizes for jumbo sheets (over 6 meters)?
Absolutely. We regularly fabricate "Jumbo size" L-frames and A-frames tailored for oversized architectural glass. We can adjust the length and height to match your specific glass transport rack requirements.
Q5: How many dismantled racks can fit in a standard shipping container?
Thanks to our flat-pack design optimized for container loading, we can fit significantly more units than traditional welded racks. For example, depending on the model, we can load up to 2-3 times the quantity, drastically reducing your ocean freight cost per unit.
