Four-Person Lift / Mobile Glass Trolley
High risk of muscular strain or panel torsion fracture. Minimum 4 trained operatives or A-frame glass transport trolley.
Calculation Method: Mass calculated on standard float glass nominal density of 2500 kg/m³ per BS EN 572-1.
Exclusions: Excludes weight of aluminium framing profiles, structural silicone secondary seals, steel transoms, mechanical brackets, and dynamic rigging safety factors. Structural engineer must verify substrate anchor pull-out loads.
