We provide high-quality glass lifting solutions, backed by over 35 years of experience in the industry. Read on to discover our top tips for a smooth installation, including the safe handling of glass.
Why is using the right lifting equipment for glass important?
Glass is easy to break, especially when moving it around. Using the right lifting equipment makes it less likely for someone to get hurt, lets you put the glass in exactly the right spot and keeps it from getting cracked or shattered.
Glass lifting equipment and its uses
- Suction cups – Suction cups are frequently used to lift and carry glass panels safely. They create a vacuum seal between the cup and the glass surface, providing a secure grip. There are suction cups designed to handle various sizes and weights of glass, ensuring stability and reliability during lifting operations.
- Handle attachments – Handle attachments offer an additional layer of support when manoeuvring glass. They give operators more control and reduce the risk of slippage.
- Cranes – Cranes are versatile machines that play an important role in our safe lifting operations. Beyond tall buildings, they are ideal for use in residential settings where access may be limited, such as installing skylights. Equipped with advanced features and operated by our skilled, professional team, we use cranes that ensure the smooth and efficient lifting of glass panels, even in challenging environments.
Cranes are used for more than just reaching extreme heights on tall buildings. They are versatile machines that play an important role in our safe lifting operations. A crane can easily help you to install a skylight or similar feature. Our skilled operators and reliable cranes offer smooth and efficient lifting of glass panels, even in challenging environments.
