4 Glass Vacuums We stock a large range of glass vacuum lifters vital pieces of equipment that are used in conjunction with mini cranes and spider cranes for glass installation. Our fleet of glass vacuum lifters includes units such as the versatile MT2, capable of lifting up to 135kg with its two suction pads, through to the Hydraulica 3500, a large vacuum lifter capable of lifting up to 3600kg in weight using 26 suction pads. Our glass vacuum lifters all come with dual-circuits as standard. Some units are remote controlled and several models are able to operate in different configurations. Before any piece of equipment leaves a Hird depot to go on hire, a rigorous test procedure is carried out to make sure we supply you with only the very best and safest machine. As with all of our equipment for hire, the full range of glass vacuum lifters is available across the UK from our regional depots.

5 Ask the Glass Handling Experts Glass Vacuums It is always worth spending a few minutes to remind yourself on the key points of safe glass lifting. The weight of load is the primary consideration when identifying your glass lifting machine. To calculate the glass weight: Length (m) x Height (m) x Thickness (mm) x 2.5 So if you had a piece of glass that was 2070mm x 3500mm and 6mm thick: Weight = x x 6 x 2.5 = kg For the double or triple glazed panels: Simply add the thickness of the panels, ignore the air space. You may however need to consider the weight of the surrounding frame. Wind conditions can have an impact when controlling glass panels with vacuum lifters, especially when suspended below the hook. We recommend that vacuum lifters can be safely used up to wind speeds of 18mph. Do not use the glass vacuum lifter in rainy conditions. Water can harm the machine s electrical and vacuum systems if ingested into the machine, increasing the risk of slipping or falling when the glass is in contact with the vacuum pads. We advise that vacuum lifters should only be used between temperatures of 0 and 40 degrees centigrade. You can measure wind speed with an anemometer or by using the Beaufort scale below: 0 Calm Air <3 kph Smoke rises straight up 1 Light Air 3 kph Smoke drifts 2 Light breeze 9 kph Wind is felt gently, leaves rustle 3 Gentle Breeze 15 kph Leaves and twigs move, flags flutter 4 Moderate Wind 25 kph Small branches move, paper blows on the street 5 Fresh Wind 35 kph Small trees sway 6 Strong Wind 45 kph Large branches move 7 Near Gale 56 kph Large trees sway 8 Gale 68 kph Difficult to walk 9 Severe Gale 81 kph Small branches break 10 Storm 98 kph Houses damaged, trees blown down 11 Severe Storm 110 kph Serious damage is done 12 Hurricane 118 kph Widespread damage Take a look at our website for the latest in safe lifting information from the team. If you have any concerns about load weights or working in bad weather conditions, then please call the Hird lifting team on

44 1800mm The Winlet glazing robot has an extendable jib, or boom. This is controlled with a hydraulic ram. When fully closed, the jib head is 700mm from the front of the glazing robot. When fully extended, it is 1800mm from the front of the machine. Linear side shift ram One of the unique benefits of Winlet, much appreciated by clients, is that side shift of glass panels is linear, so they remain perfectly aligned with the glazing aperture. This is achieved with a ram attached to the 890mm mm mm Rival glazing robots side manipulator889 head. shift using their wheels, resulting in a curved motion, so panels do not remain aligned mm Extendable jib Steering control arm The Winlet glazing robot is moved into position using the steering m 0mm mm time, the operator arm. At 11370mm the same controls the speed of movement via the steering arm control pad. Counterweights Stability during glass installation is provided by 275kg counterweights at the back of the glazing robot. These are removed during transportation. Manipulator head This allows the glass sheet to be moved precisely into position. The manipulator head can be tilted and rotated through 180 degrees. This allows a glass sheet to be lifted overhead. Articulated rear axle The Winlet glazing robot is easily steered using an articulated rear axle. This allows the operator to position the machine precisely for optimum glass installation control. Vacuum cups The Winlet glazing robot has a vacuum lifter with four vacuum cups. Extension arms can be fitted to increase the pad spread. In the event of a catastrophic vacuum failure, the one-way air valves remain open, so the panel is never dropped. The Winlet 575 has a maximum lifting capacity of 575kg. Load stabilising arms Pneumatic front wheels The glazing robot s front wheels have pneumatic tyres to assist in moving over rough terrain. Twin tyres can be fitted to provide added stability if it is needed. The front wheels are the machine s drive wheels. These are not load-bearing, but help stabilise the glazing robot when it is being moved across rough terrain. 44 Customer Services Northern Central Southern

Hire & Sales 1.5 ton For glass lifting advice or any additional requirements, please contact the Hird Glass Handling Division direct on Safe use of slings 1. When selecting slings, always take into account the size, shape and weight of the load you will be lifting. 2. Make sure you plan the lift and lowering operation before beginning. 3. Always examine your sling, ensuring that it has no defects and that its specifications are suitable for the job. 4. Make sure that your sling is protected from sharp edges, friction and abrasion, whether from the load or from the lifting appliance. 5. Slings should be used in a manner that spreads a load uniformly across their width. 6. All polyester slings have a selective resistance to chemicals. Seek advice if exposure to chemicals is likely. 7. Polyester slings are suitable for use at temperatures up to 100 C and down to -40 C. 8. Ensure the load is balanced, that it is free to be lifted and undertake a trial lift. 9. Slings should only be used by trained operatives who are familiar with the method of rating and application of mode factors. 10. Slings should never be overloaded. 11. Slings should never be tied in knots or twisted. 12. Never use a damaged sling or attempt to repair a damaged sling. 13. Do not trap the sling when lowering a load and do not attempt to pull the sling from beneath a load. 14. Do not drag a load in the sling, or allow the sling to be dragged over the ground. 15. Avoid snatch or shock loading. info@hird.co.uk 67
