MACHINERY Glass Products

Transport & Heavy Machinery Glass Products

Glasshape® offers a range of high-grade transportation and heavy machinery glass solutions fit for projects where the conditions are especially rigorous.

Our safety glass products provide maximum operator cab protection, making them the perfect fit for anyone who operates heavy equipment, like earthmoving trucks, excavators and other forestry or mining machinery. ArbourShield® Forestry and ArbourShield® Mining are fully certified solutions for where protection from impact risks is required.

Unparalleled strength and unobstructed visibility is delivered through a combination of reinforced laminated glass outer layers and high-grade poly-composite inner core. This protects the operator inside the cab from chain shot, falling objects and other projectiles.

ArbourShield heavy machinery glass has been extensively impact tested and proven to be over 10x stronger and more impact resistant than standard laminated windscreens of the same thickness.

RailShield® locomotive glass is designed to withstand the harsh rigors of rail transport and is certified to rail industry standards across heavy, light and commuter rail sectors.

A unique composition of glass and polycomposite layers provide a glass solution that delivers on both safety standards and comfort levels for operators, drivers and passengers. Superior laminating technology minimizes weight with subsequent savings in energy and maintenance requirements.
