Glass Manufacturing Industry Cranes

Industry Applications

Special Cranes and Attachments are Required for Handling Glass and Manufacturing Glass Products.

Street Crane has long been a specialist in this area with extensive experience designing and manufacturing cranes with mechanical grabs for lifting and loading packs of plate glass as well cranes with vacuum lifting devices for handling single plates and sheet products.

With Street variable frequency drives we can provide infinitely variable speed control on crane motions with the option of an anti-sway algorithm to eliminate hook sway.

Special features we have supplied to the glass sector.

  • Mechanical Grabs: These are essential for lifting and loading packs of plate glass. They provide a secure grip and ensure safe handling of large glass sheets.
  • Vacuum lifting: Ideal for handling single plates and sheet products. They use suction to lift and move glass without causing damage.
  • Anti-Sway Technology: Cranes equipped with anti-sway algorithms help eliminate hook sway, ensuring stable and controlled movement of glass sheets.
  • Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs): Allow for infinitely variable speed control on crane motions. This feature is crucial for the precise and delicate handling required in glass manufacturing.
  • Safety Features: Cranes used in glass handling must comply with all the latest safety standards. This includes features like emergency stop buttons, load limiters, and safety interlocks to protect workers and equipment.
