Fully Automated Remote Control

The GML800+ offers fully automated glass installation. Thanks to the glass manipulator’s advanced design, there is no need to make any manual adjustments during the lift, increasing the speed, productivity and safety of glass lifting operations.

Lateral Outriggers

Manufactured from 6m steel, the stablisers can be adjusted to help positioning. On the GML800+ series, they can be mounted at the back (with counterweights) enabling you to work directly up against a wall or glass façade. Rear mounted stabiliser also provides enhanced manourvrability

Counterweights

Neatly stored within the unit, flexible configuration enables you lift weights of up 800kg

Compact Design

The counterbalance floor crane is just 780mm wide and 1000mm long when stowed for transport, and weighs just 260kg (manual version) without counterbalance weights. This makes it easy to transport in a construction lift, and even a standard commercial lift, and to move through standard doorways.

Overhead glazing

The combination of the GML800+ counterbalance floor crane and the Glazing Manipulator, developed by Kappel, again to Hird’s specification, allows glass panels to be raised and installed overhead, at full working height.

Below the hook vacuum lifter

Combined with the electric winch, the GML800+ counterbalance floor crane can be fitted with a below-the-hook vacuum lifter to carry out glass or cladding installation down a building.

Locking Castors

High quality durable castors provide smooth, easy movement across site. Fully lockable for operation.

Dual Safety brakes

One of many safety features on the GML 800. Thick steel cable, hardened rollers and sturdy chassis construction also ensures safe strong ongoing performance job after job.
