I. OVER VIEW:- Abaco Pro Glass Lifter was designed to move a sheet of glass in combination with a forklift, or with an electric hoist. - The clamping mechanism is fully automatic.- The vulcanized rubber on the clamp allows additional grip as well as extra protection to the glass to be handled.- The light and compact design makes it easy to transport and to store this lifter.- In addition, there are two guide shafts to lead the device gripping the glass in a right position smoothly.

- Abaco Pro Glass Lifter is made of aluminum so it is light and sturdy.- Two clamping jaws were made of casting aluminum and have the rubber pads to secure right grips to the glass sheet.- The main body was combined with 8 wheels. The four lower wheels of the Lifter protect glass sheets from touching abrasive particles on the floor's surface and move easily. The four upper wheels of the Lifter were designed to provide pressure on the glass surface to act as a guide as the sheet glides into the clamp.
