Absolutely safe lifting and transporting of glass panels

This unit is a forklift-mounted machine for vertical glass panels. Originally designed to handle sandwich building panels, it can also be modified to handle glass plates. It will effortlessly lift pplates from a stack and turn them in to an upright position, ready for installing into a wall. With the application of the OKTOPUS® on industrial building sites (e.g. factory buildings, commercial buildings, large warehouses etc.) the following distinct advantages are provided:

 • Increased-working safety

 • Lower building costs for installation buildings through shorter installation times and rationalization of work methods

 • Smaller installation teams

 • Relieving of the workers from heavy lifting tasks

 • Saving of additional devices

 • Protection of building panels during installation

 • Safety and security is ensured via a key lockable switch
