Stop letting internal logistics bottleneck your tempering line. |
For A Frame Glass steel rack users in the architectural glazing industry, the biggest hidden cost is often "movement waste." When your CNC cutting table finishes a sheet, but the edging machine or washing line isn't ready, where does that glass go?
Static racks force you to use an overhead crane or a forklift for every single transfer. By integrating heavy-duty industrial castors into our design, we transform static storage into a dynamic workflow tool. Operators can push up to 4,000 lbs of glass manually, creating a seamless "WIP" (Work-In-Progress) flow that keeps your expensive machinery running non-stop.
High-load bearing nylon castors ensure smooth movement across concrete factory floors.
Handling Low-E glass or soft-coat mirror sheets requires more than just steel. A standard metal rack is a recipe for disaster, leading to coating scratches that turn premium product into scrap. Furthermore, for tempered glass, edge protection is critical; a single hard impact on the edge can shatter the entire unit due to tensile stress.
We utilize a proprietary composite of high-density industrial rubber and plywood lining. This isn't just "padding"; it's a specific formulation designed to grip the glass securely to prevent sliding while being soft enough to protect delicate coatings.
Specialized rubber profiles protect sensitive Low-E coatings and prevent edge chipping.
For Glaziers Contractors, the challenge shifts from the factory to the job site. You need a rack that can be loaded onto a truck, survive the transport, and then be lifted by a crane to the 10th floor.
Our glass transport racks come equipped with certified crane lifting eyes and integrated forklift pockets. This dual-handling capability means you can offload from the truck using a telehandler or lift directly to the install point via crane. We also include a dedicated ratchet strap system (securing bar) to lock the glass against the A-frame, preventing movement during transit that causes "rub marks" or breakage.
Reinforced lifting eyes allow for safe crane operations at construction sites.
Shipping empty racks back from the job site is shipping air—it kills your margins. Unlike fully welded static racks, our Detachable Steel Rack design allows for flat-packing.
When not in use, or when being returned from a customer, these racks can be dismantled or stacked (depending on the model). This capability allows you to fit significantly more units into a container or onto a flatbed, reducing your freight costs by up to 55%.
Maximize your floor space: Stacking 8 folded racks takes up the space of one assembled unit.
Cheap racks often use spot welding. When you are storing 3,000 lbs of Granite Slabs or heavy Laminated Glass, a spot weld is a failure point waiting to happen. We use a full seam welding process on Q235 industrial steel. This ensures the structural integrity required to prevent catastrophic collapse, keeping your workers safe and your inventory intact.
| Feature | Standard/Generic Racks | Mgrack Professional Series |
|---|---|---|
| Welding Process | Spot Welding (Risk of cracking under dynamic load) | Full Seam Welding (Maximum structural rigidity) |
| Surface Protection | Thin Foam (Tears easily, exposes metal) | Industrial Rubber & Plywood Composite (Long-term durability) |
| Glass Securing | Loose ropes or basic straps | Integrated Ratchet System & Steel Limit Rods |
| Mobility | Static or cheap plastic casters | Heavy-Duty Nylon/PU Castors (4,000+ lbs capacity) |
1. Can these racks handle the weight of 20mm granite slabs or thick laminated glass?
Yes. Our racks are engineered with Q235 steel and full welding to support heavy loads common in the stone and glass industry. Standard Safe Working Load (SWL) typically starts at 3,000 lbs (approx. 1.5 tons) per side, but heavy-duty custom options are available for higher capacities.
2. Will the rubber padding stain my white quartz or obscure glass?
No. We use non-marking industrial rubber specifically selected to ensure no residue or staining is left on sensitive surfaces like white quartz, frosted glass, or Low-E coatings.
3. Are the wheels suitable for uneven shop floors?
For uneven floors or outdoor use, we recommend our Pneumatic or large-diameter Polyurethane (PU) castor options. Standard Nylon castors are best for smooth, sealed concrete factory floors to minimize rolling resistance.
4. Can I lift the fully loaded rack with a crane?
Yes, providing you select the model equipped with certified lifting eyes (eyebolts). Always ensure the glass is properly secured with the ratchet straps and limit rods before lifting to prevent load shifting.
5. Do you offer custom sizes for "Jumbo" glass sheets?
Absolutely. We regularly manufacture custom heavy duty glass racks tailored to specific dimensions, including those needed for oversized "Jumbo" architectural glass sheets used in commercial facades.
