Lifting sheets or panes of glass can be tricky - whether you work in the glass industry or want to replace your own windows, it's important to know how to do it safely.
As lifting and carrying glass can be an awkward task, we bring you this blog post today to discuss some top tips you can apply when working with glass and carrying it.
This will ensure your safety and use the correct glass handling techniques. We will also discuss the tools used, which can make glass handling easier and therefore safer.
The first thing you can do to handle glass safely is to have the right tools in the first place. Having the right glass lifting tools will help you lift glass easier, more efficiently and, most importantly, safer than having no tools at all.
Glass can be slippery to hold in your hands and can easily break if not handled properly. Handling glass can be dangerous due to its fragility and potential for breakage, so having the right tools for safer lifting is a huge benefit.
It's important to choose your glass lifting tools carefully - after all, you need the right tools for the job. Consider the weight of the glass you will be handling and lifting. Size and the shape of the load should also be taken into account when choosing the right glass lifter for the job.
At GGR Glass, our glass vacuum lifts come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with various lifting capacities. From small manual lifting cups to equipment designed to lift and carry heavier loads, we have it all.
Suction cups are widely used in the glass industry. They can sometimes be called by several different names including; glass suction cups, glass lifters, suction tools, vacuum lifters and suction lifters.
Suction cups are an essential tool for any glazier. They make the job of fitting windows much easier - not only do they help to carry the glass, but they also help to fit the glass into the window frame to perfection. No professional glazier would be without some form of suction cup in their toolbox. If you need to carry glass by hand, you can also benefit from using suction cups as it ensures your safety.
Lifting capacity
The capacity of each glass suction cup will depend on its type and size - the typical weight of a typical suction cup is between 10kg and 60kg. If you want to use your suction cup to its full potential, you should know that most suction cups work best when suctioned onto a flat surface. Although some specially designed suction cups can be attached to uneven and curved surfaces.
Glass lifts for cranes or hoists can have between 1 and 50 suction cups and can lift a staggering weight of over 1000 kg. Check out our strongest vacuum suction cups to find out more about their lifting capacity.
