Glass and glazing professionals across the UK are often required to lift large, heavy glazing units into position so they can be installed manually. This process introduces various challenges including the risk of injury from manual handling and the possibility of breakages to occur. For these reasons, many professionals have turned to the use of Smartlift glass lifting equipment – a revolutionary alternative to manual handling.
With the full range of Smartlift glazing robots available for hire or purchase direct from CPSLift.com, we thought we’d offer our take on how these machines have emerged as a key player in the glass and glazing industry of the UK.
Where Smartlift Stands Out
Smartlift are pioneers when it comes to vacuum lifting technology and were one of the first manufacturers to introduce glazing robots to the UK market. Smartlift products are renowned for their sturdy design and sophisticated technology, offering a robust alternative to the manual handling of most non-porous materials.
Here are some of the main features and benefits of Smartlift glazing robots:
- Precision Handling – Smartlift glazing robots are engineered to manoeuvre glass with precision accuracy which is crucial for the correct installation of many of the glass and glazing products available in the UK today.
- Safety Features – With a dual vacuum system and lots of other safety systems in place, Smartlift equipment helps to ensure safety for the operator and those working in the vicinity of the glazing robot.
- Versatility – Although we refer to them as glazing robots, Smartlift products are able to lift most non-porous materials such as insulated panels, granite, marble and sheet metal. This makes them a highly versatile lifting solution for professionals from different industries.
- Ease of Use – Focusing on user experience, Smartlift glazing robots are quick and easy to operate. Operators can be trained in a short space of time, helping to make the most out of your investment.
