Stop compromising your yield rates. In the glass fabrication business, a single scratch on a jumbo Low-E sheet during handling costs more than the rack itself. Whether you are moving units from the CNC cutting table to the tempering furnace, or shipping finished IGUs to the job site, you need equipment that eliminates the "drop zone" risks and optimizes your workflow. |
If you are managing a glass plant, you know the sound of a "shell-out" or edge chip. It usually happens during the transfer between the CNC glass cutting table and the breakout area. Traditional storage methods or generic A-frames often lack the specific protective engineering required for Low-E glass or heavy laminated glass sheets.
The Tempered Glass A-Frame Racks by Mgrack are not just storage; they are precision instruments designed to integrate seamlessly into your production line. We move beyond simple "storage" to solve the specific logistical bottlenecks found in modern glazing facilities.
High-durometer rubber strips prevent metal-to-glass contact, protecting sensitive coatings.
Handling soft-coat Low-E glass requires an uncompromising approach to surface protection. Our racks feature a specialized Protective Surface System. Unlike cheap foam that degrades, we utilize industrial-grade rubber or a plywood-composite layer securely fastened to the Q235 steel frame.
This ensures that when your crew loads a $2,000 architectural panel, the sensitive metal oxide coating never touches the steel structure. This drastically reduces the rejection rate at the quality control station before the glass even enters the IGU assembly line.
How often does your production line halt because the overhead crane is occupied elsewhere? This is a classic efficiency killer in glass plants.
Our Mobile A-Frame Racks transform your Work-In-Progress (WIP) flow. Equipped with heavy-duty polyurethane or nylon casters, these racks serve as mobile buffers. A single operator can manually maneuver a rack loaded with cut glass from the breakout table to the glass edger or washer intake, without waiting for the crane. This creates a continuous, lean workflow.
Ergonomic handles and premium casters allow manual movement of heavy glass loads.
For glass distributors and exporters, shipping costs can erode margins faster than breakage. Shipping fully welded, bulky racks overseas is financial suicide due to poor container utilization (shipping "air").
We engineered the Detachable (Knock-Down) A-Frame specifically for this challenge. By using high-strength bolting mechanisms that maintain the structural rigidity of a welded frame, we allow you to flat-pack the empty racks.
The ROI Reality: Instead of fitting only 10-12 welded racks in a container, our design allows you to stack up to 100+ units. This slashes your per-unit freight cost by over 55%, turning your logistics department from a cost center into a competitive advantage.
8 units of detachable racks stacked efficiently, maximizing container space.
When you store 4,000 lbs of granite slabs or high-density tempered glass, structural integrity is a life-or-death matter. Many generic racks rely on spot welding to cut costs. Under dynamic loads (like a forklift hitting a bump), these spot welds can shear, leading to catastrophic collapse.
At Mgrack, we employ a Full Seam Welding Process on all critical joints. Combined with a wide base design and lateral stabilization bars, we ensure your racks meet the highest safety standards. We don't just sell racks; we help you maintain an OSHA-compliant, accident-free workplace.
Q1: Can these racks handle the weight of 19mm granite or thick laminated glass?
A: Absolutely. Our racks are engineered with Q235 industrial structural steel. Standard models are rated for 3,300 lbs (1,500 kg) to over 6,600 lbs (3,000 kg) SWL (Safe Working Load), making them ideal for heavy stone slabs and thick laminated glass bundles.
Q2: Will the rubber padding mark or stain the glass coating?
A: No. We use non-marking, high-quality industrial rubber specifically selected for compatibility with glass coatings. For extra sensitive applications, we can offer HDPE or specialized polymer linings.
Q3: Do you offer custom sizes for Jumbo Glass sheets?
A: Yes. While we have standard sizes (e.g., 84" x 60"), we frequently manufacture custom A-frames tailored to fit specific Jumbo sizes (like 130" x 204") or to match the specific dimensions of your delivery trucks.
Q4: How durable is the finish against corrosion in a wet processing environment?
A: For indoor use, our electrostatic powder coating provides excellent durability. However, for racks used in wet areas (near washers) or for outdoor storage, we highly recommend our Hot-Dip Galvanized option, which provides decades of rust protection even when exposed to water and stone dust slurry.
Q5: Can the detachable racks be assembled easily on-site?
A: Yes. The design focuses on quick assembly using standard tools. Your warehouse team can assemble a rack in minutes, allowing you to deploy them immediately upon arrival without specialized contractors.
