About the Glass Robot GRM250

The Manual Glass Robot GRM250 is a wheeled vacuum glass handling system with 250 kg (550 lb) rated capacity and 360° continuous rotation, designed for commercial glazing where a single operator needs to position and install large glass panels with precision. Available in 3-cup and 4-cup cradle configurations: the 3-cup handles standard commercial glass sizes, while the 4-cup provides a wider suction footprint for oversized panels and long curtain wall installations. Maneuvered manually, with vacuum-supported glass holding for safe pickup, rotation, and placement. Compact enough to fit through standard doorways and operate in elevator lobbies. Reduces glazing crew size from 3–4 workers to a single operator.

Key Features

  • Vacuum suction holds glass (no straps or clamps)
  • Manually maneuvered (no power outlet or generator needed)
  • Single-operator setup and operation
  • Compact footprint, fits through standard doorways
  • Reduces installation crew from 4 workers to 1
  • Suitable for curtain wall, storefronts, and interior glass work

Application & Technical Notes

Wind & Weather Limits

  • Vacuum pad systems maintain grip up to 50 km/h (31 mph) wind speed for standard glass thicknesses
  • Avoid operation in sustained winds above 40 km/h when handling panels over 2 m wide
  • Rain does not affect vacuum grip — pads seal against wet glass surfaces

Glass Compatibility

  • Compatible with standard float, tempered, laminated, and Low-E coated glass
  • Vacuum cups work on smooth surfaces only — not textured, patterned, or sandblasted glass
  • For curved glass, contact us for cradle configuration recommendations

Terrain & Mobility

  • Pneumatic wheels handle gravel, packed dirt, and uneven ground
  • Fits through standard 36-inch doorways for indoor/outdoor transitions
  • Not rated for slopes above 5° under full load
