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

We know the Tampa glass job.

Four things that are true about this work here specifically.

Same-day, because we are here
Our yard is in Tampa. A morning call can be an afternoon set when the unit is available.
Downtown, Water Street, Westshore
Podium storefront and ground-floor window wall set from the sidewalk. No crane, no street closure, one person on a remote.
Impact glass on the water
South Tampa, Davis Islands, and the beaches. A 6 by 10 opening is about 420 lb of laminated glass, and it goes across a lawn and through a finished house.
Occupied buildings
A reglaze in a live office or a retail bay with the tenant open. Battery-electric, no fumes, and the pads hold what six pairs of hands used to.

What a Tampa glazier is actually afraid of.

Not the rental. The three things that blow a schedule.

The unit you cannot reorderA custom impact unit or a fritted lite is weeks out. Two people can carry it. Two people can also drop it.
No crane accessCourtyard, alley, under a canopy, over a pool deck. A glazing robot is not a crane. No hook, no suspended load, no operator card to chase.
CrewsYou cannot field five people for a set on a Tuesday. One person on a remote sets the lite and the rest of the crew glazes.

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. Both units handle everything on this list.

Impact glass at the openings that cause trouble. Figures are typical for laminated impact units.
Material	Typical size	Weight	Fits
Impact glass	6 x 10 ft opening	about 420 lb	Either unit
Impact glass	8 x 12 ft opening	about 670 lb	Either unit

Working out your own: impact glass runs about 7 lb a square foot. Multiply your opening. 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.

The unit you’ll get.

Under 1,300 lb, the SL609 goes on the truck. Heavier, or a longer reach, and it is the SL1009.

When do you need it?

Tampa questions.

The five that come up on nearly every call.

How fast can you get a glass lifter to a Tampa job?

Same-day when the unit is on the yard, because the yard is here. Book ahead if the set date is fixed. It is a two-unit fleet and it moves around the state.

How heavy a unit will it set?

1,320 lb with the arm in. Capacity drops as the arm goes out, and reach matters as much as weight on a glazing job, so tell us both and we will confirm the fit.

Will it seal on coated or low-E glass?

Usually. Coatings vary and a few give the pads trouble, so send a photo or the product code and we will confirm before you book.

Can it set glass from inside a finished lobby?

Yes. It is battery-electric, so no fumes. Standard tires can mark a finished floor, so tell us, because non-marking wheels are an available option. It drives through a standard 36-inch door.

Do I need a trained operator?

No. Our driver walks your crew through the controls on drop-off. If you can drive a pallet jack, you can run a Smartlift.
