Benefits of using glass lifting equipment on construction sites
Glass lifters offer numerous benefits when it comes to handling fragile materials on construction sites.
- Time Savings: Glass lifters speed up the installation process by eliminating the need for manual adjustments and reducing handling time. This allows your team to complete projects faster, leading to improved productivity.
- Reduced Labor Costs: By automating the lifting and handling process, glass lifters reduce the need for manual labor. This helps reduce labor costs and allows your workforce to focus on other critical tasks.
- Fewer Errors: The precise positioning capabilities of glass lifters ensure accurate placement of glass panels. This eliminates errors and rework, saving time and resources in the long run.
- Enhanced Safety: Glass lifters minimise the risk of accidents and injuries associated with manual lifting. This not only protects your workers but also reduces downtime due to injuries, ensuring uninterrupted project progress.
- Adaptability: Utilising this type of equipment allows for various setups based on the surface you need to lift. Glass Vacuum Lifters exhibit adaptability on curved or flat glass surfaces, and the option to add more than one lifter on the same surface enhances their capacity. Another advantage is the flexibility to employ various types of equipment for lifting, including mini crawler cranes, tower cranes, forklifts, and others.

Lifting Success: A Mass Hire Case Study Demonstrating the Effectiveness of Glass Lifters in Construction
A construction company faced the daunting task of lifting a 1.4-ton curved pool wall, presenting complications due to the absence of lifting points and the wall’s distinctive geometric shape. Traditional crane slings fell short in providing a viable solution. Recognising the need for innovation, Mass Hire stepped in with a strategic approach.
To address the lifting project, Mass Hire deployed four specialized glass vacuum lifters – two featuring inline curved paths and two equipped in a spider configuration and flat pads. This sophisticated arrangement allowed for the precise and secure lifting of the challenging pool wall. The engineering prowess of Mass Hire was on full display as they not only provided the equipment but also engineered the lift effectively by creating lifting points.
The success of this endeavor underscored the tangible benefits brought by glass lifters to construction sites. Mass Hire’s solution not only resolved a challenging scenario but also paved the way for improved efficiency, adaptability to unique shapes, and heightened safety measures.
