Quattrolifts USA have released the Mule which is designed for one man to lift and rotate over 660 pounds (300Kg) of glass or IG’s for use inside glazing shops with greater safety and ease. The Mule can load and unload glass, mirrors and double glazed units onto cutting tables, edgework polishing machines, trucks and dollies while reducing your OSHA risks.

The Mule can rotate glass 360 degrees allowing long and heavy sheets of glass to be loaded onto an edgework polishing machine. The Mule is operated by a portable DC vacuum pump applying vacuum to four 11 inch Woods cups. The vacuum pump arms can be swivelled allowing for long narrow plates to be handled safely.

Quattrolifts has released the Nomad and Rotating Head which is a portable glass installation system that assembles in minutes and allows fewer glaziers complete more work with less risk of injury. Gone are the days when 6 to 10 men had to shuffle along carrying glass from a truck onto site.

Operated by two men the Nomad has a lifting capacity of 660 pounds, which can be doubled by using two Nomads. The Nomad can load and unload glass, mirrors and double glazed units onto trucks and barrows. With attachments it can rotate glass up to 15 feet long. The all terrain wheels operate on construction sites with greater ease and bring safety for glaziers, reducing OSHA risks.

HOLMESGLEN INSTITUTE OF TAFE in Chadstone has proudly assisted in the development of a safety device that is now in line to win a number of awards. Holmesglen Glass and Glazing staff assisted a Melbourne chiropractor in developing an innovative glass transportation & installation unit, which has already won the 2004 Invention of the Year Special Commendation Award. The Australian made Quattrolifts Nomad is now up for the Victorian Worksafe as well as the Engineers Australia Awards and has a good chance of winning.
