What Glass Lifting Equipment Do You Need?
The glass leads: weight, dimensions, surface type, and final position all point to the equipment. Simple units suit a vacuum lifter, while heavier or restricted jobs need a glazing robot or crane assistance.
Next comes the site: access width, working height, ground, and space. Narrow or internal jobs lean toward glazing robots, while large façade glass may need a vacuum lifter with a spider or mobile crane behind it.

Operated and Equipment-Only Glass Lifting

Where panels are heavier, access is tight, or glazing is at height, operated hire is usually safer. Coppard provide CPCS operators, lift planning, RAMS, and LOLER-compliant gear as required. Call 01380 828988 to discuss operated glass lifting.

Frequently Asked Questions: Glass Lifting in Melksham, Wiltshire
What types of glass lifting equipment are available?
The range includes vacuum lifters, glazing robots, spider cranes, and lifting attachments. The right equipment depends on the panel weight, dimensions, access, and installation height.
How do I know whether I need a vacuum lifter or glazing robot?
A vacuum lifter suits jobs where a crane or telehandler supports the lift; a glazing robot suits internal work, restricted access, and jobs where the machine moves with the panel. Tell Coppard the panel and site details and the right method is matched to the job.
Is operated glass lifting available?
Yes. Equipment-only hire suits straightforward ground-level glazing where your team is competent. For heavier panels, restricted access, or glazing at height, operated hire with CPCS-certified operators, lift planning, and RAMS is available.
How do I prepare my site before the glass lifting equipment arrives?
Clear the access route and setup area, and check the ground and working height. Have the panel weight, dimensions, and installation position ready, with site photographs. Larger or higher installs may need a lift plan and RAMS, and the Health and Safety Executive sets out guidance on planning lifting operations.
