AGrack for Curtain Wall Construction: Reduce On-Site Installation Time by 40%

The installation of curtain walls is one of the most time-critical and risk-intensive parts of commercial construction projects. Every day your glazing team spends on site costs thousands of dollars in labor and project overhead, and damaged glass units can delay the entire project by weeks. Traditional disposable packaging results in hours of unpacking waste, site clutter, and unnecessary damage, while the risk of injury from handling heavy glass on site is constant. AGrack solves all these problems and reduces your on-site installation time by 40% or more. Request a Quote for Curtain Wall Construction Site

The Pain Points of Curtain Wall Construction Site Logistics

The traditional delivery of curtain wall glass causes massive inefficiencies on construction sites:

• Hours of unpacking time: Teams spend 3-4 hours per load unpacking custom glass units, disposing of packaging waste, and cleaning the glass before installation.
• High on-site damage rates: Multiple transports of glass from the delivery truck to interim storage and to the installation location result in on-site damage rates of 3-5%, requiring emergency reorders that delay projects by weeks.
• Clutter and safety hazards on the construction site: Piles of wooden packaging waste create tripping hazards and fire risks on already crowded construction sites.
• Inefficient installation workflow: Glass units are often delivered in random order, forcing teams to search for the right unit for each opening, wasting valuable installation time.

In a typical 50-story commercial tower, these inefficiencies add up to 2-3 extra weeks of glazing time and hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional labor and delay costs. AGrack's unitized transport system eliminates all these pain points.

AGrack for Curtain Wall Installation: Direct Delivery to Work Area

AGrack revolutionizes curtain wall construction site logistics by creating a single unitized container that transports glass directly from your plant to the installation work area, without intermediate handling.

Reduzieren Sie die Handhabungszeit vor Ort um 40 %

With AGrack, glass units are loaded into the rack at your plant in exact installation order. The sealed rack is delivered directly to the building elevator or crane pick-up point, where it is lifted directly to the installation level. Teams can access the glass units directly from the rack without unpacking, sorting, or cleaning, reducing handling time by 40% and eliminating all packaging waste on the construction site.

All packaging waste remains at your plant, eliminating the cost and time of construction debris removal from the site and keeping the work area clean and safe for all trades.

90 % Reduzierung der Schäden vor Ort

The glass units are protected during transport and lifting to the installation level by AGrack's full steel frame and EPDM rubber padding. The scratch-free mechanical rubber system ensures that units arrive in perfect condition, without damage from vibrations, slippage, or moisture during transport. Our curtain wall customers report that on-site damage rates after switching to AGrack have dropped from 3-5% to less than 0.3%, avoiding costly reorders and project delays.

Sequenzielle Beladung für perfekten Installationsablauf

We work with your project planning team to design custom loading sequences that match your installation schedule. The glass units are loaded into AGrack units in the exact order they will be installed, so your team always has the right unit available exactly when needed – no sorting or searching required. This eliminates downtime and keeps your installation team at maximum efficiency.

Einfache Rückgabe leerer Gestelle für Hochhausprojekte

After emptying, AGrack can be folded flat to 20% of its operational size, allowing you to fit 5 empty racks in a single building elevator load for return to ground level. This eliminates the need to lower large, bulky fixed racks with a crane along the building facade, saving crane time and reducing on-site safety risks. Empty racks can be returned in bulk to your facility for the next project.
