Glass transportation tools are designed to make moving glass easier, safer, and faster. They provide a practical and reliable way to move glazing from point A to point B. These tools range from vehicles with specialised frames for securely holding glass, to simple carrying straps and mobile slab buggies.
On most construction sites, any mistake in moving materials can result in costly damage, delays, and even injuries. Glass transportation tools minimise these risks by reducing breakages, cutting down on wasted time, and preventing avoidable accidents. This ensures smoother operations, saving both time and money, while keeping your team safe and your customers happy.
At GGR Glass, with nearly 30 years of experience in glass equipment rental, we are committed to providing tried-and-tested solutions as well as introducing innovative technology to the market. We believe glass transportation tools are essential assets for every glazing project, helping you achieve the highest standards of quality and safety.
How Do Glass Transportation Tools Work?
These tools provide additional support and stability, allowing glass to be moved more efficiently and with less risk of breakage. For example:
Carrying straps are made with durable materials capable of supporting heavy glazing while ensuring user comfort.
Slab buggies hold glass at a carefully designed slanted angle that prevents panels from tipping over during transit.
Glass transportation tools should be used whenever manual handling poses a risk—or even when a task seems simple. Investing in reliable equipment ensures safer handling, reduces the chance of errors, and offers long-lasting value for glaziers.
Types of Glass Transportation Tools
Different projects require different solutions, and at GGR Group we supply tools to meet every transportation challenge. Here are some examples:
Polyester Carrying Straps (1T)
Perfect for carrying heavy glazing with ease. These straps are made from durable woven polyester with reinforced handles and a padded rest section for comfort. They can support loads of up to 1000kg and have a 560mm handle-to-base length, making them ideal for large glass panels.
Self-Locking Transport Trolley
This trolley allows glazing to be slotted in, locked securely, and moved with ease. It features large 260mm pneumatic wheels—adjustable for different terrains—and supports glass from 10mm to 70mm thick, with a maximum load capacity of 250kg.
All-Terrain Uni Wheel Dolly
The Woods Uni Wheel Dolly uses a vacuum pad to secure glass, making transport easier across uneven ground. Its dual-wheel system allows panels to be moved individually or in pairs, doubling efficiency on lighter glazing projects.
Slab Buggy
Designed with a tilted frame, the Slab Buggy prevents fragile glass from falling during transit. It holds loads up to 290mm thick and weighing up to 400kg, allowing multiple units to be transported at once, saving both effort and time.
