In the Glass and Glazing Industry, precision, efficiency, and safety are paramount.
At One Stop Handling Ireland, we supply high-quality vacuum lifting solutions designed specifically for the glass and glazing industry.
Whether you’re lifting glass panes, windows, or glazed units, our systems enhance safety, precision, and efficiency—both in production environments and on-site installations.
From processing plants to building sites, we offer a range of static and mobile vacuum lifters to suit every stage of the glazing workflow.
Applications
Static Vacuum Lifters (Workshop & Production Use)
This vacuum lifter can tilt glass from 0–90° and rotate from 0–360°, making it ideal for precision handling in workshop environments.
Our static vacuum lifters are engineered for workshop use and fixed production environments, where glass is handled repeatedly as part of manufacturing or assembly processes.
These systems are typically mounted to:
- Overhead cranes
- Gantry cranes
- Jib arms
Ideal for:
- Feeding glass sheets into CNC, cutting or polishing machines
- Moving panels between workstations or stillages
- Controlled handling of large or fragile units
Key features:
- Manual or electric vacuum pumps
- Suction pads for glass sheets of various sizes and weights
- Tilt and rotation functionality (90° / 180° options)
- Capacities from 100 kg to 800+ kg
We also offer custom setups to suit your space and workflow.
Mobile Vacuum Lifters (On-Site Glazing & Installation)
Our mobile vacuum lifters are designed for site work—where flexibility, compact size, and controlled handling are critical.
These systems are perfect for projects involving:
- Window installation
- Curtain wall and façade assembly
- Internal glazing in restricted-access areas
Common applications:
- Transporting glass through narrow access points
- Installing glazed units flush against façades
- Supporting vertical and overhead glass installation
Popular mobile solutions include:
- Express 200CW: A counterweight glass lifter with 200 kg capacity, ideal for floor-level and high-level installs in tight spaces.
- Battery-powered vacuum lifters: Optional tilting or rotating functions for precise placement.
- Modular lifting frames: Easy to dismantle and transport between sites.
- The Vector 400: A heavy duty powered mobile glass lifter with high reach and great rotation
Mobile units are CE marked and available with full training and support.
