Getting your glass and windows on the road – safely

Marc-Alexander Stachel around trends, new customers and familiar faces in Düsseldorf

At the Fensterbau Frontale trade fair in Nuremberg, people are the focus for HEGLA and HEGLA boraident. The companies are presenting solutions at their booth that make work easier for employees, provide a high level of safety, and improve efficiency.

After more than 41 years at HEGLA Fahrzeugbau, the Managing Director of many years, Hans-Peter Löhner, has retired.

Whether it’s the transport of conventional glass or bulky/extra-large elements, securing loads properly and professionally for transport is the name of the game for glass specialists.

Come rain, snow or splash water, a rack tarpaulin cover is essential for ensuring that your high-quality glass stays dry and clean during shipping – especially in winter. Glass racks have low sills, which makes it easier for employees to position heavy or large glass panes and elements but also means that these elements are very close to the ground during transport. As a result, loads can be exposed to rain, splash water and damage from stones if they are not covered by a tarpaulin during transport.

Regardless of a new trade fair date, the vehicle special "Fensterbau Frontale-Edition" will be available from 18.3.2020. Digitalisation and automation may currently be the focus in the glass and window industry, but at the end of every production run, the glass and structural elements still have to be delivered to clients safely, efficiently and in an operator-friendly manner. HEGLA, Germany’s market leader for such transport attachments, will present both an industry vehicle for a special price and a transporter specifically developed for urban transport at the upcoming Fensterbau Frontale in Nuremberg. “We are already looking forward to presenting our industry innovations at the trade fair,” said HEGLA Fahrzeugbau Managing Director Hans-Peter Löhner.

It’s easy to describe the standard equipment for a glass and window transport van. If companies would like to take advantage of additional options they should seek advice on conversion in line with their specific needs.

A glass-industry vehicle for a special price, two storage and transport vehicles for intralogistics, and a long-goods warehouse that industry visitors can examine as closely as they please. Hans-Peter Löhner from HEGLA Fahrzeugbau is certain that his company has interesting ideas and new products to offer at the FENSTERBAU FRONTALE trade fair.
