Handling curved and bent glass has long been a challenge to manufacturers, fabricators and installers alike. Since 1964, Wood’s Powr-Grip has been making glass handling easier and less dangerous with hand-held vacuum cups, below-the-hook vacuum lifters and other high-quality products. A red-line indicator or available audio alarm on WPG hand cups alerts the user of any significant vacuum loss. Vacuum gauges with coloured zones on Powr-Grip vacuum lifters clearly indicate whether the vacuum is sufficient for lifting. A dual vacuum system is available on many WPG vacuum lifters to reduce the risk of falling glass. Indicator lights and warning buzzers signal when a vacuum lifter is ready to move glass.
Whether you are loading curved glass onto processing machinery in the factory, handling bent panes in the shop for fabrication operations, or installing curved glass products on job sites, Wood’s Powr-Grip makes the right equipment for handling curved or bent glass more easily and safely.
