Glass Boy FAQs
Although the Glass Boy vacuum lifting range offers many configurations and accommodates glass panes of various sizes and weights, it is not designed for curved glass. Consider the VIAVAC compact curved glass vacuum lifter for a powerful machine that can lift curved glass panels.
Despite their impressive carry capacity, Glass Boy lifters have a small footprint and do not require specialist equipment to move. Even the largest model in the range, the GB-H, is stored in a standard pallet footprint cradle. Furthermore, it uses a specially designed transportation frame, making it easy to move.
Yes, the vacuum lifters in the glass boy range come with a 12-month warranty. Please note that the warranty does not include seals.
