Conclusion

Before choosing your Smartlift, think about what surfaces it will operate on and whether there are any space restrictions.

An indoor Smartlift glazing robot comes into its own working on flat slab surfaces such as concrete. Its short and narrow chassis coupled with a powerful rear-wheel motor allows it to work effectively in restricted spaces and turn at acute angles. It is the perfect solution for internal glazing or glass lifting in a factory or glass production environment.

Outdoor Smartlift models accommodate trickier glass lifts where stability on terrain is key. Its rugged front-wheel-drive system with four wide profile all-terrain tyres make installing windows, sliding doors, bi-folding doors and curtain walling a much easier prospect!
