Self-propelled
Glazing robots for glass, stone and panels
Self-propelled and battery-powered. They lift and travel on their own, so the lift needs no crane. With suitable suction pads they also place stone, worktops, steel sheet, tiles and other panels.
Glazing robot
Winlet 600
Use it for storefront and window glass, stone and worktops when the route is 890 mm wide or more.
Tracked glazing robot
Winlet 1000 Crawler ER
Use it for glass, window units and sealed stone panels when the route crosses uneven ground. Lifts to 6,050 mm.

Send the load, the route and the site conditions. We name the machines that fit.
Crane-hung
Vacuum lifters for cranes and hoists
They hang from a crane or hoist and grip the pane by suction. The frame and the pad count set each rating.
Crane-hung vacuum lifter
OKTOPUS GL-M 1200 G
Use it for large panes under a crane or hoist, with radio control and powered rotation and tilt.
Crane-hung vacuum lifter
Wood’s MR1611LDC
Use it for large glass and flat panels. The frame layout sets the rating, from 4 to 16 pads.
Curved-glass lifter
Curved glass lifter
Use it for concave and convex panes with a radius of 1,500 mm or more.
Compact vacuum lifter
Wood’s MRT4LDC
Use it when the pane needs a different pad layout: basic, extended or linear.
Inline vacuum lifter
Wood’s P11104DC
Use it for flat glass in tight spaces. The four pads sit in one row, and the lifter weighs 41 kg.
Send us the load details
Pane weight, size and the crane on site. We match the lifter and the frame to the pane.
Site equipment
Beams, mini cranes and carts
Equipment for loads that a glass lifter does not cover: under overhangs, over obstacles and along corridors.
Crane-mounted beam
Counterbalance beam
Use it to place glass beneath a balcony, soffit or canopy that blocks the crane hook line. Takes 1,500 kg with a load hook at up to 2.0 m.
Mini crane with winch
Lasius 1.5t
Use it to lift over obstacles or lower loads below floor level, with winch wire up to 32 m.
Wireless material cart
ErgoMover
Use it to carry drywall stacks, steel sections and other building materials by radio remote.

Before you book
Questions about choosing rental equipment
Glazing robot or crane-hung lifter?
A robot travels and lifts on its own, which suits sites without a crane. A crane-hung lifter grips and rotates the pane, and the crane supplies the lift and the travel.
Which rating do I need?
Compare the pane’s weight with the machine’s rating, and check the basis in the comparison table. A lifter’s rating depends on its frame, its pad count or its overhang.
Can I rent a lifter without a crane?
A crane-hung lifter needs a crane or hoist at the site, and the quote confirms its supply separately. The Winlet robots, the Lasius and the ErgoMover lift without a separate crane.
Can a glazing robot lift stone or worktops?
Yes, when the surface suits suction. The Winlet 600 and the Winlet 1000 Crawler ER take pad options for stone, worktops and other sealed panels, and the Winlet 600 also handles steel sheet and tiles. Send the material, its finish and its weight so we can specify the pads.
Is an operator included?
Yes. Every rental comes with a trained operator.
