GLASS HANDLING EQUIPMENT
JS Burgess is proud to provide bespoke A-Frame and L-Frame handling equipment to our clients, designed to handle panel-type products such as glass and modules. Due to the nature of the work that glass handling equipment is used for, it requires hard-wearing and durable materials to ensure they are correctly supported and last in the most demanding environmental conditions. We use several different materials in our designs, all of which have been chosen to ensure products are of the highest quality for our customers, including Marine Ply and Mesh-Faced Birch Timber, also known as Buffalo Board, on the base and PAR Timber on the backboards to ensure longevity. The material is water resistant, anti-slip and doesn’t deteriorate quickly, making it cost-effective and the perfect solution for our customers’ needs.
A-FRAME STILLAGES
Whether you’re a professional glazier, construction contractor, or manufacturer working with large sheets of glass, stillages are an indispensable asset. Even the toughest glass needs to be handled with care to help protect the panes and minimise the risk of injury from the workers who are moving it. This challenge is where A Frame glass stillages come in.
These robust and versatile structures offer a dependable solution for handling your valuable glass inventory. From the side, they look like a capital A because of their two slanted storage frames. The slight angle angle means glass sheets can rest securely while in transit. JS Burgess is one of the largest A Frame and L Frame manufacturers in the industry, delivering market-leading quality, consistency and service.

L Frame Glass Stillages
The world of glass transportation and storage demands a reliable and secure solution. Enter L Frame glass stillages. Whether you’re a professional glazier tackling large-scale installations or a manufacturer working with delicate glass components, L Frame stillages offer the perfect combination of strength and support.
An L Frame is characterised by its ‘L’ shaped design, consisting of a flat base supporting the stored items’ weight and an upright section extending vertically from the base. The stable base prevents tipping and movement when transporting fragile materials. While most companies use A frames, some customers have site-specific rules that require the use of L frames because their side shelf allows their flat storage against a wall or in a warehouse racking system.
Order L Frame StillagesSize Optional. Quality as Standard.
JS Burgess glass stillages offer a high-grade mild steel construction that provides a rigid and robust platform to lift almost anything, safely up to 1,000kg, whilst maintaining the security of the items stored inside. We offer a range of sizes to suit different projects. Large L frames are perfect for oversized glass panels commonly used in building facades, storefronts, or architectural features. In contrast, small L Frame stillages provide a practical and secure solution for handling and storing smaller glass sheets commonly used in interior design projects, furniture manufacturing, or shower enclosures. Optional L frame features include:
- Rubber or timber dunnage
- Removable side bars for extra protection of the items while being lifted or transported
- Fork guides and pockets
- Heavy-duty, 360 degree castors
- Secure locking mechanisms
- An optional professional powder-coated finish
If our off-the-shelf products don’t completely match your requirements, we are perfectly positioned to build a custom-built stillage to fit your workplace and processes.
