Plan your transport
Describe the shape, quantity, existing framing and the prepared transport position, for example upright on an A-frame or flat in a crate. It also matters whether individual panes or glass elements already integrated into a component are travelling. Give the external dimensions including rack or packaging and the total weight – glass is heavier than many expect. The responsible specialist confirms how the element is prepared; a position should not be inferred from a product picture. Also clarify whether racks stay with the recipient or come back.
Upright, flat, in a rack
Large panes usually travel upright in a rack, smaller glass parts often flat in a padded crate. The manufacturer or your specialist decides which position is permitted. Tell us the requirement; vehicle, load securing and the route into the building depend on it.
Weight and carrying glass
A glass pane of a few square metres can weigh well over 100 kilograms. Carrying it up stairs or along narrow corridors then requires aids such as vacuum lifters and several people. Give us weight and route so that we show the scope correctly in the quotation.
What matters
- Describe glass, framing and transport position together
- List rack dimensions and total weight separately
- Clarify in advance what happens to racks and transport aids
