In the architectural glass business, a single scratch on a soft-coat Low-E unit isn't just a defect; it's a remake that kills your margin. You cannot afford to gamble with makeshift timber protection that holds grit and moisture. Upgrade to professional steel racks equipped with specialized Non-Marking Polymer Pads, designed specifically to protect sensitive coatings during internal WIP transfer and site delivery. Ensure your high-value units arrive at the glazing site in the exact condition they left the tempering furnace. |
For glass processors handling toughened glass or complex laminated units, the surface contact point is the critical failure zone. Traditional rubber strips often degrade rapidly under the weight of heavy glass packs, exposing the underlying steel and causing immediate edge shelling. Even worse, generic rubber can leave black residue "ghosting" on the glass surface, forcing your team to waste valuable man-hours cleaning units before installation.
Our Mgrack solution utilizes an advanced Non-Marking Polymer compound. Unlike standard rubber, this material is engineered to provide high friction for load stability without compromising the delicate surface of Low-E glass coatings.

Surface protection is only half the battle. Your mobile glass storage racks must withstand the rigorous demands of moving between the CNC cutting table, the edging machine, and the tempering furnace. Flimsy, spot-welded racks can flex during movement, causing glass sheets to shift and grind against each other.
We employ a Full Seam Welding process on Q235 steel, creating a rigid A-frame structure that does not twist under load. This rigidity ensures that the glass remains perfectly stationary against the polymer pads, eliminating micro-abrasions caused by vibration. Equipped with heavy-duty industrial castors, these racks serve as a mobile buffer zone, reducing crane dependency and forklift bottlenecks in your workshop.
Heavy-duty industrial castors ensure smooth transition over workshop floors.
For glazing contractors and glass distributors, logistics costs can erode profitability. Traditional welded-solid racks are expensive to ship because they transport mostly "air."
Our detachable glass transport racks feature a smart, flat-pack design. When not in use or during return logistics, the A-frames can be dismantled and stacked efficiently. This nesting capability allows you to maximize container loading density, significantly reducing freight costs per unit. Whether you are shipping double glazed units to a commercial site or storing seasonal inventory, the space-saving ratio is a direct boost to your operational efficiency.
Maximize your warehouse space: 20 units of detachable racks stacked efficiently.
1. Will the polymer pads mark soft-coat Low-E glass?
No. Our polymer pads are specifically formulated to be non-marking and non-abrasive. They provide a secure grip on the glass surface without damaging the delicate metal oxide coatings used in modern high-performance glazing.
2. What is the weight capacity of your A-Frame racks?
Our standard heavy-duty racks are rated for up to 4,400 lbs (approx. 2,000 kg) per side, making them suitable for heavy packs of laminated glass or thick granite slabs. We can also engineer custom solutions for higher loads.
3. Can these racks be used for outdoor storage?
Yes. While powder coating is standard, we highly recommend our Hot-Dip Galvanized finish for outdoor environments. This treatment provides superior corrosion resistance against rain and humidity, extending the rack's lifespan significantly.
4. Are the racks compatible with standard forklifts and cranes?
Absolutely. Every rack comes with integrated forklift pockets for safe ground transport and welded lifting eyes (crane lugs) at the top for overhead crane operation, ensuring seamless integration into your existing workflow.
5. Do you ship to the UK and Ireland?
Yes, we have extensive experience supplying glass processors in the UK and Ireland. Our flat-pack design is specifically optimized for shipping containers, ensuring you get the best landed cost per unit.
