For **Interior Fit-out Specialists** and **Shopfitters**, the job site is often a finished building. You are working inside luxury retail malls, occupied office towers, or high-end residential lobbies. The challenges aren’t just weight; they are access, aesthetics, and protecting the surrounding environment.

An **Indoor Glazing Robot** is your silent partner in these delicate environments. Unlike diesel equipment that emits fumes, or large cranes that can’t fit through the door, our fully electric, compact units are designed to navigate service elevators and standard doorways. They allow you to install heavy glass partitions, shopfronts, and mirrors with surgical precision, without damaging expensive flooring or disrupting building occupants.

Access is Everything: The “Elevator Test”

The biggest logistical nightmare for interior glazing is simply getting the equipment to the floor. If your lifter doesn’t fit in the service elevator, you are stuck manually handling glass up the stairs—a recipe for disaster.

The Gstruck series is engineered with a compact chassis width specifically to pass the “Elevator Test.” The counterweights and boom retract fully to minimize the footprint. This means you can roll the unit off a truck, through a standard single doorway (often less than 900mm wide), and into a lift, delivering hydraulic lifting power directly to the 20th-floor executive suite without dismantling the machine.

Hydraulic articulation allows for installation in tight corners and recesses.

Protecting High-Value Surfaces

In a finished lobby with Italian marble floors or a corporate office with plush carpeting, an oil leak or a tyre mark is unacceptable. “Clean construction” is the standard.

Our robots are 100% electric, powered by sealed battery systems that produce zero emissions and zero noise, making them ideal for work during office hours. The hydraulic system is fully enclosed within the steel chassis to prevent leaks. Furthermore, the precision of the Curtis Control System ensures smooth acceleration and braking, preventing sudden tire spins that could scuff polished floors.

The Art of the “Invisible” Installation

High-end retail glazing often involves massive, seamless sheets of glass (jumbo sizes) to create an “invisible” storefront. Installing these manually is fraught with risk—fingerprints on the inner layers of laminated glass or edge chips from setting blocks.

The robot’s vacuum suction frame acts as a clean hand. It grips the glass face securely without touching the edges. The hydraulic side-shift and tilt functions allow the operator to slide the glass into deep U-channels or recessed frames with millimeter accuracy. This mechanical control eliminates the frantic “shimmying” of manual installation, ensuring the glass edge never contacts the metal frame, preventing spontaneous breakage later.

Single-operator control reduces crowding in narrow retail corridors.

Versatility for Shopfitting Materials

Shopfitting isn’t just about glass. You are likely installing mirrored panels, polished stainless steel sheets, or heavy wooden display walls. The Gstruck robot is a multi-material asset.

By adjusting the suction pads, the same machine can lift a 300kg granite countertop for a reception desk or a steel cladding panel for a column. This versatility means you don’t need to rent separate material lifts for different phases of the fit-out, keeping your equipment costs low and your site uncluttered.


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will the tires mark white marble or carpet?

The standard solid rubber tires are designed for durability. For sensitive environments like white marble or finished wood, we recommend using protective wheel covers or requesting non-marking tire options to ensure zero trace is left behind.

2. How quiet is the machine during operation?

It is extremely quiet. The electric drive motor is nearly silent. The only audible sound is the low hum of the vacuum pump (which runs intermittently) and the hydraulic pump during lifting. It is perfectly suitable for work in occupied libraries, hospitals, or offices.

3. Can it fit through a standard 800mm door?

Yes, specific models in the Gstruck range are designed with a chassis width as narrow as 780mm-800mm when the wheels are in the transport position, allowing them to pass through standard single-leaf personnel doors.

4. Is it safe to use around pedestrians in a mall?

Yes. The machine moves at a slow, controlled walking speed. It is equipped with an emergency horn and stop button. However, we always recommend cordoning off the immediate lift zone with safety tape as standard practice.

5. Can it install glass on a ceiling?

Yes. The hydraulic head can tilt 90 degrees upwards to face the ceiling. This is commonly used for installing skylights or overhead mirrored panels in lobby areas.
