With a 1,000,000 square foot production facility that includes 12 insulating glass (IG) lines and 12 tempering ovens, Carey Glass has been pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with glass for over 55 years. The company processes 14,000 square feet of glass every day, so it is essential to be able to move a varity of glass types.
The Glaston Easy-Lifter, with rigid guidance and its own low dead weight, enables an operator to carry flat glass quickly and easily. This would explain why this is one of the most popular products in Glaston’s portfolio.

For this Easy-Lifter investment, the rigid load guidance is already proving useful on the production floor, as the glass can always be suctioned with its lower edge being completely horizontal when hanging in the air. Handling glass safely and accurately is essential, particularly in premises as large as those at Carey Glass. Minimum operator intervention is required with adjustable lifting speed and each vacuum pad having a secure hold.
Complete solutions across the glass sector
As the Easy-Lifter can easily rotate, tilt, incline and turn glass on the production floor, it provides safe and flexible handling. Furthermore, it can feed and remove glass units for IG sealing, in and out of tempering furnaces as well as for pane turning or screen printing.

Carey Glass is proud of the relationship it has with a large number of national and international key companies who carry out large commercial projects. And the company will also happily work with smaller fabricators and manufacturers to provide complete solutions across the sector.
2,500th Easy-Lifter is a milestone.
Evelyn Carey, at Carey Glass comments, “As we have total in-house control of the quality and delivery requirements for each customer’s project, we have to invest in reliable equipment and machines that meet our needs. Handling such high volumes of glass means that we must keep production methods as simple as possible where necessary without losing any of the guarantees. As we process all glass types in-house, with a highly qualified and experienced team, the Easy-Lifter greatly simplifies handling for them. We are also happy to have purchased this ‘special’ Easy-Lifter.”
