What Glass Lifter Do You Need?
Begin with the panel itself: how heavy it is, how big, and how it is installed all determine the equipment.
A vacuum lifter works well when a crane or telehandler is on site to carry the lift. Glazing robots take over on tight-access jobs, internal installs, and where the machine must move with the panel. Shopfronts, structural glass, and large commercial units need heavier-capacity equipment.
