MGRACK | GLASS AND STONE HANDLING
For fabrication workshops handling fragile Dekton, marble, glass and other vertical panels, a mobile double-sided A-frame glass rack needs to do more than hold material. Mgrack uses full-surface rubber contact protection to separate vulnerable edges from the steel frame during storage, forklift handling and internal material handling.
High-end porcelain slabs such as Dekton are extremely hard, but hardness does not make them impact-proof. Marble can develop hidden cracks when an edge receives a sharp hit. In a busy glass fabrication workshop or stone slab handling area, the highest-risk moment is often the handoff: a worker places a panel down, the load shifts, and an exposed steel edge contacts the slab.
For a fabricator, the result is not a minor surface mark. A chipped edge can send a finished panel back to the factory for re-polishing, adding handling time, rework cost and delivery risk. That is why a mobile glass storage rack should be evaluated around its contact surfaces and handling sequence, not only its frame size or appearance.
Why ordinary iron racks create a chipping risk
Traditional racks often depend on loose timber strips as the interface between a panel and the steel. Timber can rot, split or fall away after repeated movement. Once the pad is missing, the panel meets bare steel at the base or on the inclined support. A small placement error then becomes a hard point impact, especially with brittle stone edges. Mgrack is designed around a different principle: the rack should keep a resilient barrier at every primary contact zone throughout vertical panel storage and transfer.
Full-surface rubber protection for fragile panel edges
Mgrack places C-channel bow-shaped rubber strips, flat rubber pads and composite cushioning blocks across the load-bearing base and inclined faces. This soft-contact layer keeps glass or stone away from direct steel impact. The C-channel profile can wrap around the lower edge area rather than leaving the slab to rest on a narrow exposed line, helping reduce edge chipping during loading and unloading. The protection is integrated with the rack contact design instead of relying on a temporary piece of wood that can move or deteriorate.
Structure that supports controlled movement, not just storage
The double-sided A-frame layout provides vertical panel storage on both sides, while triangular steel supports and cross-members organize the load path. Swivel casters allow the rack to serve as a mobile panel rack or A-frame panel storage trolley for internal material handling. Integrated lifting eyelets provide visible handling points for approved lifting procedures, and a ratchet tie-down system helps restrain panels during movement. The images show the rubber contact pad, lifting point and tie-down interface directly; they do not establish a universal load rating, caster rating or stack-height value.
What to confirm before specifying a Mgrack
- Panel dimensions and unit weight: confirm the largest glass or stone slab, thickness range and loaded rack weight so the frame and support layout can be reviewed for the application.
- Surface-protection zones: identify where edges and faces contact the rack; Mgrack can be configured around C-channel rubber, flat pads and composite blocks rather than exposed steel.
- Handling method: state whether the rack will be pushed on polyurethane casters, moved by forklift, or handled through lifting eyelets, so the movement path and restraint points match the workshop.
- Aisles, return and storage: provide aisle constraints and empty-rack return requirements; the double-sided format, mobile base and nested/stackable return concept can then be assessed without assuming an unverified stack height.
