Having the right equipment isn’t just a convenience for tradesmen, it’s essential for both safety and efficiency. At GGR Glass, some tools stand out as firm favourites with our customers, helping them lift, carry and install glass with confidence.
Vacuum Hand Suction Cups
No glazing kit is complete without a reliable suction cup. Popular choices such as the Nemo Grabo Vacuum Cup and the Woods Powr-Grip range remain go-to options as they offer the strength and control needed to lift large panes securely. For more specialist jobs, such as working with curved glass, cups like the N6000 Curved Suction Cup ensure a tight hold where a standard flat pad wouldn’t work. These simple yet powerful tools make moving and positioning glass far safer and far less strenuous.
Lever-Operated and Multi-Pad Lifters
When a single suction cup isn’t enough, lever-operated options step in. Double and triple-pad lifters, such as the GGR2 and GGR3 models, spread the weight across multiple pads, giving a stronger grip and reducing the chance of slippage. They’re especially useful when working with large format glazing or kitchen worktops, where stability is everything.
Glazing Tools That Finish the Job
Lifting is only half the battle. Once the glass is in place, it takes the right accessories to finish the installation neatly and securely. Everyday essentials such as glazing packers help create the perfect fit inside frames, while glazing shears and nylon hammers allow tradesmen to trim seals and tap panels into position without leaving marks or damage.
Transport and Lifting Accessories
On busy worksites, glass also needs to be moved safely from storage to installation. Glass transport racks and dollies make light work of shifting heavy panels across a site, while straps and slings help share the load between workers and protect materials in transit. These accessories may seem like small additions, but they help prevent accidents and reduce costly breakages.
Supporting Tradesmen Every Day
From suction lifters to glazing shears, these tools aren’t luxuries, they’re the everyday essentials that keep tradesmen safe, efficient, and able to deliver a high-quality finish for their customers. At GGR Glass, we’re proud to supply equipment that tradesmen trust, making a tough job that little bit easier.
