One of the biggest challenges for businesses that work with large and fragile items, such as window and door glass, is working out how to transport it safely to their worksite without risk.
Transporting large panes of glass on UK roads is fraught with danger because there could be a possibility of the glass breaking during transit. This is a major headache for businesses such as specialist glaziers, double glazing and conservatory installation companies.
It can be especially difficult for moving fragile glass panes safely when trying to plan a route that avoids making fast or sharp turns, avoiding potholes and roadworks with uneven driving surfaces.
Window glass is known to be particularly cumbersome and heavy to move around and quite fragile in an unsupported state. However, moving large sheets of glass around can be quite worry-free when you use a glass carrier vehicle and know how to properly load and transport it.

Lightweight and strong glass racking
Depending on your business needs, we can construct and install glass carrying racks to meet your needs. For example, large glass sheeting can be heavy so we can install aluminium glass holding racks with a spring-loaded poling system that makes it perfect for the safe carriage of glass.
Aluminium racking is an ideal solution for transporting glass that needs a more generous capacity, such as large window glass for office buildings or large mirror installations for hotels and shopping centres, but is also a perfect solution for more lightweight glass carrying and delivery, such as glass shower enclosures for residential bathroom makeovers.
When you need to carry equipment to help with your glass installation services, such as step ladders, we can fit roof racks to safely transport these too. We can also fit out the interior of your van with racking to safely hold mouldings and extrusions, as well as draws and bins for tool kits and essential parts to keep your mobile workshop secure and accessible.
