Smartlift SL609 HLE RT vacuum lifter with four suction pads on a lifting frame

We know the Southwest Florida glass job.

Four things that are true about this work here specifically.

Next-day down the coast
A straight run from Tampa. Book the day before and it is there in the morning.
Impact retrofit
Laminated glass runs about twice the weight of the glass coming out. An 8 by 12 lite is about 670 lb of 9/16 in laminated glass before the frame. Big impact lites often use thicker glass, so get the unit weight.
Cape Coral canal-front
Sliders and fixed panes into finished rooms, across a lawn on off-road tires, through a standard 36-inch door with the legs up.
Bonita and Naples on the same run
Work across Fort Myers, Bonita, and Naples in the same window? Send every zip and date on one request and we will quote it together.

What a retrofit crew is actually afraid of.

Not the weight on paper. The lite in the doorway.

The lite you cannot reorderAn oversized impact unit is weeks out. A hand carry is one slip from a remake in the doorway. The pads hold it on two separate vacuum circuits.
The finished houseThe owner is home, the floors are done, and the old glass is already out. One operator walks the new unit in on a remote, a second person guides it, and nobody has fingers under the edge.
The scheduleA retrofit runs house to house on a calendar. A cracked unit is a callback and a missed date, and the crew still has to come back.

The one question we ask.

What is the heaviest single piece, how high does it have to go, and how does it get into the building?

The piece: Weight and size of the heaviest single unit. Clean, non-porous glass seals reliably. Coated or textured, send a photo first.
The height: 13 ft 11 in of lift. Capacity drops as the arm goes out, so tell us the reach as well as the weight.
The way in: 32.7 in to drive through, 5 ft 8 in to set the legs and work. Sidewalk, curb, lawn, or lobby: tell us, and we bring the ramp or tell you it will not work.

Send a photo of the opening if it helps. We confirm the fit before you book, not after.

Will it hold your piece?

Find your material, check the weight. Every piece on this list is inside the SL609’s 1,320 lb with the arm in. At full reach the limit is 330 lb.

Laminated impact glass at the sizes that cause trouble, glass only. A framed unit weighs more.
Material	Typical size	Weight	Fits
Laminated impact glass, 9/16 in, glass only	6 x 10 ft lite	about 420 lb	SL609, arm in
Laminated impact glass, 9/16 in, glass only	8 x 12 ft lite	about 670 lb	SL609, arm in

Working out your own: laminated impact glass runs about 7 lb a square foot, glass only. Multiply your lite, then ask the maker for the framed unit weight. Capacity depends on how far the arm has to reach, so send the weight and the distance and we will confirm the fit before you book. More weights, and the reach rule.

The unit you’ll get.

The SL609 holds up to 1,320 lb with the arm in and 330 lb at full reach. Heavier than that, and we can source a larger unit for heavier lifts.

Fort Myers questions.

The five that come up on nearly every call.

How fast can you get a glass lifter to Fort Myers?

Next-day. Book the day before and it is on site in the morning, subject to the unit being available.

Do you cover Cape Coral, Bonita, and Naples?

Yes. Same next-day run. If you have work across all of them in the same window, send every zip and date and we will quote them together.

How heavy is impact glass?

About 7 lb a square foot for laminated impact glass, glass only, roughly twice standard glass. A 6 by 10 lite is about 420 lb and an 8 by 12 about 670 lb. The frame adds more, so send the unit weight if you have it.

Will it cross a lawn to get to the opening?

Yes. It is an Outdoor-series machine on wide off-road tires. Soft sand or fresh fill wants mats, so tell us what it is driving on.

Do I need a licensed operator?

No. There is no license for a Smartlift. Our driver walks your crew through the controls on drop-off. Anyone who runs it must be 18 or older and have read the manual. If you can drive a pallet jack, you can run a Smartlift.
