Glazing Robots and Cranes

Foster Cranes supplies a range of glazing robots, glass handlers, vacuum lifting systems and compact cranes designed for accurate and safe glass installation. Our equipment is suitable for handling glass panes, cladding materials, non porous panels and other smooth surfaces. These machines help position materials with precision and can operate in areas where space or access is limited.

Glazing robots and glass handling cranes are well suited for facade installation, window fitting, internal glazing, shop front work and refurbishment projects.

Product Range

Our glazing equipment includes several popular models and manipulators, each designed to support different lifting needs and site conditions.

  • MPK06 Minipicker
    Works with a glass manipulator fitted with suction pads or with a hook attachment. Carries loads up to six hundred kilograms. Offers a lift height of four metres and a radius of just over two metres. Compact size allows easy transport and operation.
  • MPK10 Minipicker
    Accepts manipulators or hook attachments. Carries loads up to nine hundred and ninety kilograms. Reaches lift heights close to five metres and offers excellent manoeuvrability in confined areas.
  • JVM800 R Glass Manipulator

These machines transform a compact crane into an efficient glass handling solution suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation.

  • Accurate positioning of glazing and panels
  • Safer handling of heavy or awkward materials
  • Reduced manual lifting and lower risk of injury
  • Ability to operate in tight or restricted spaces
  • Suitable for both commercial building facades and internal fit outs
