Why Rent This 500kg Glass Lifter

Moving large glass panels by hand is slow and dangerous. Renting this 500kg glass lifter puts a VIAVAC GBL2 on-site, letting one operator lift, rotate, and precisely place panels using its side grip handles — no second crew member needed for positioning.

The GBL2 rotates a full 360°, locking in 8 fixed positions, and tilts 90° with a lock every 18°, so glass can be angled into almost any position required for facade or window work.

Because it mounts directly onto a crane or crane arm, this 500kg glass lifter for rent is built for elevated glazing jobs where manual lifting simply isn’t possible — think curtain walls, storefront glass, glass balustrades, and large architectural panels.
