No glass off the shelf? How we cut plant glass to size on site

Plenty of cab glass simply does not exist off the shelf. Here is how our fully mobile unit measures, cuts and fits it on site - and gets you back to work.

Cutting a cab window to size on site - the shape did not exist from any supplier.

Car windscreens come in boxes. Plant glass often does not. Older machines, rare models and one-off conversions all end up in the same place: no part number, no supplier, and a machine standing idle. That is the job we are set up for.

First, we check whether it exists

Tell us the make and model of the machine and which glass is damaged - a photo helps. If the glass already exists from a supplier, we source it and fit it; there is no point cutting something that can be bought correctly. We can also order specialist glazing materials through our supplier network.

If it doesn't, we cut it on site

  1. Template. We take the shape from the aperture or the old glass, including any holes, notches and curves.
  2. Cut. Our fully mobile unit carries laminated and safety glass and cuts it to size on site for a precise fit. Curved screens are ordered through our supplier network.
  3. Fit. The glass is fitted to health & safety requirements and manufacturer recommendations, so the cab is as safe as it was on day one.

Why on site matters

When your machinery is off the road, your business is losing money. Bringing the workshop to the machine means no low-loader, no trip to a depot and no waiting for a slot - we work where the machine is standing, whether that is a quarry, a farmyard or a dock.

What we glaze

Reinforced glass for demanding site conditions, laminated and safety glass - flat panes cut on site, curved screens sourced - for diggers, excavators, cranes, tractors and agricultural machinery, plus coaches and buses and lorries and trucks. We regularly re-glaze JCB, Volvo, Kubota and Bobcat machinery, and we cover all makes and models.
