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.

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

Random Testimonial |
Terry Brownell –
Managing Director, Ceduna Glass
“Having only 2 of us in the
business, the Quattrolifts Nomad has saved us manpower. In the past, we had to
recruit men off the street to assist us in installing the big shopfronts. With the Nomad, we can now save on the labour
and can install 3 shopfronts in the one day if need be and walk away pain free.
We no longer have to carry sheets
around or be afraid to go to work. We
can now move glass from the rack to the tilt table with just one person,
creating a one man operation. The equipment is definitely worth it!”
