Window Glazing Robots to Minimise Manual Handling

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

To install windows on this project they have been using Winlet glazing robots to minimise the manual handling involved by the operatives.

The robots provide remote controlled lifting and weigh just 1800kgs with full counterweights, and can be used to operate across low load bearing floors.

The machines use powerful vacuum lifters to hold glass and other loads safely.

The benefits of using this are:

  • Easily deployable stabilisers
  • Remote control operation
  • Intelligent load monitoring
  • Lift a wide range of materials
  • Operational with flat or curved glass
  • Lift up to 1000Kg
