Buying a glass truck and glass rack is not the same as purchasing a different type of glass working tools. As the glass manufacturing industry advances, the equipment that surrounds it, has as well.
The efficient and safe distribution of commercial glass and its dozens of jobs, created the literally hundreds of glass truck rack designs to fulfill demand.
With the sheer selection of options possible, an in depth study looking at your businesses base-line goals is a must to acquiring a glass transportation rack. Even though its easy to get a standard glass transportation rack from most equipment makers, for no extra surcharge you have an expert design a custom glass rack to your specific needs.
Getting to know your requirements in these ways will help you select the chassis and body combination that will maximize your investment.
Remember that bodies usually outlast two or three chassis. Planning this far ahead requires a lot of thought due to the unfortunate fact that the glass rack body must be remounted to a similar chassis type design. The chassis design will also decide major features of the body type such as payload, ledge width and rack size.
Meanwhile, glass racks are common in 3 fundamental materials: aluminum, carbon steel and stainless steel. Each material has benefits and negatives.
Carbon Steel is the cheapest material, even though it may eventually demand unexpected maintenance expense to keep it looking good, most especially in rust creatinghumid weather.
Aluminum glass racks are popular for their lightweight characteristics. if anodized, painted and polished, it will keep looking great up to a decade with just minimum maintenance. Aluminum are a bit pricier and are more troublesome to fix than steel.
Stainless Steel is the ideal glass rack material for buyers thinking about anti-corrosive materials and long life. When measured to the right specs, a steel glass rack can prove a years of little care and durable product life cycle. Because stainless steels rust resistant composition, etching the front for painting is troublesome, and therefore the rack bodies are not painted. A brushed exterior look is a steel racks best look. The only one downside of steel so far is its higher upfront cost.
