What Are Glass Stillages?
Glass stillages (also known as a-frame racks) are specialised systems designed for flat glass products. Their A-shaped design distributes weight evenly, reducing breakage risk during handling and transport.
Our A-frame stillages combine robust steel construction with protective contact surfaces. This vertical storage approach maximises space efficiency and keeps glass panels accessible and visible for inspection.
Benefits of A-Frame Glass Stillages
Our glass stillages are engineered with precise weight distribution to prevent breakage during transport and storage. We custom-design each unit to match your specific glass dimensions and weights for optimal protection of your valuable products.
Choose from multiple backing materials, including plywood, plastic, rubber or foam, to suit your glass type and handling requirements. Every stillage has built-in fork guides for safe forklift handling, lifting eyes, and lashing points that secure glass during transportation.
We also offer stackable options for businesses needing space improvements that increase storage density without compromising accessibility. All stillages feature high-quality UK-manufactured steel construction for durability and can be finished with custom powder coating to enhance visual identification within your facility.
