Overview

A first-time customer in the glass processing industry approached us through a general inquiry, looking to upgrade their manual sheet-loading station. What started as a single RFQ turned into a fully integrated lifting workstation — delivered and installed within 14 days.

The Challenge

The customer's loading station relied on two operators handling large glass sheets manually, using suction cups and manual tilting equipment. This process created three persistent problems:

  • Product damage. Manual handling led to frequent edge chipping, surface scratches, and occasional full-sheet breakage.

  • Workplace safety. Two-person lifting of 300+ kg panels created repetitive strain and pinch-point risks.

  • Fragmented solutions. Previous suppliers had quoted either a vacuum lifter or a crane in isolation, without ensuring the two systems could actually work together on the customer's floor.

What the customer needed was not an off-the-shelf product, but a matched, ready-to-use workstation tailored to their production layout.

The Solution

We engineered a complete lifting system as a single integrated package:

  • 6-cup vacuum lifter, designed with deep-vacuum holding power and 90° flip and 90° rotation, allowing a single operator to lift, tilt, and position large glass sheets safely.

  • Freestanding KBK-II crane system, configured with two 12 m tracks and a 6 m main beam, covering a 12 m × 6 m working area across the loading bay. The system bolts directly to the existing factory floor — no new foundation required.

  • Fully matched components. The lifter, crane, trolleys, and vacuum circuit were specified together, ensuring load ratings, headroom, and reach were compatible out of the box.

  • Export-grade packaging. The entire system was packed in a heavy-duty wooden crate to protect against transit damage.

Why the Customer Chose Us

After comparing multiple suppliers, this first-time buyer placed the order with us based on four points:

  1. One responsible solution, not separate products. Most vendors quote a lifter or a crane on its own. We designed both as one system, so the customer received a workstation that worked together from day one.

  2. Solid build quality. The customer evaluated the construction carefully — reinforced frames, industrial-grade vacuum components, and durable suction cups built for daily production use, rather than thin-wall alternatives that look identical but wear out quickly.

  3. Ten years of export experience. Documentation, packing, shipping coordination, and installation guidance were handled end to end, with no surprises for a buyer new to sourcing from China.

  4. Strong warranty and support. The equipment carries a two-year warranty including wearing parts, backed by remote technical support and free replacement of defective parts — a level of after-sales backing not typically offered by trading companies or smaller factories.

The Results

  • Manual two-operator sheet flipping replaced by single-operator lifting and rotation

  • Handling-related damage and safety risks significantly reduced

  • Integrated workstation delivered and operational within 14 days of deposit

  • KBK track layout designed to allow future extension as the customer's facility grows
