The Solution for Glaziers and Window Installers
Fragility, size and precision
Transporting glass and glazing panels on stairs is one of the most complex challenges in the construction industry. Glass panels are fragile, heavy and often considerable in size, requiring specialised equipment and the utmost care to prevent breakages and damage.
Using a tracked glass manipulator like the Skipper GL is the professional solution to ensure safety and precision during transport. The suction cup system and non-marking tracks allow glazing to be moved across any surface without risk.
Fragility and large dimensions
Glazing panels can reach dimensions of up to 3 metres wide and 2.5 metres tall, with weights exceeding 200 kg. Their fragility makes manual transport extremely risky, especially on narrow stairs and irregular steps.
Suction cup system with full rotation
Skipper GL uses a suction cup attachment system (manual or electric) that ensures a secure grip on the glass surface. The 360° rotation and adjustable tilt allow the glazing panel to be oriented in any direction during transport and installation.
Operator safety
Manual transport of heavy glass exposes operators to significant risks: muscle injuries, cuts from accidental breakage and falls on stairs. Handling fragile and bulky loads requires multiple people and increases the risk of accidents.
Low centre of gravity and stable tracks
The Skipper GL's geometry is engineered to optimise weight distribution. The low centre of gravity ensures stability even with heavy loads, while the reinforced rubber tracks provide optimal grip on any surface, allowing a single operator to manage transport safely.
Positioning and installation
Installing a glazing panel requires millimetre precision. Incorrect positioning can cause breakages, frame damage or aesthetic defects. Furthermore, manually lifting glass to installation height is extremely tiring and dangerous.
Integrated lifting and millimetre precision
Skipper GL features an integrated lifting system that raises the glazing panel to the desired height with smooth, controlled movements. The 360° rotation and adjustable tilt allow the glass to be oriented precisely into its final position, drastically reducing installation time.

Precision, safety and versatility
Skipper GL is the professional solution for glaziers and window installers who need to tackle the challenges of transporting and installing glazing panels. The suction cup system ensures a secure grip, while the motorised tracks overcome steps, stairs and uneven terrain effortlessly. Full rotation and integrated lifting enable millimetre-precise positioning, reducing work time and eliminating the risk of damaging the glass panels.
Total safety
Skipper GL is a professional glass manipulator with reinforced rubber tracks and a certified suction cup attachment system. The low centre of gravity and system stability drastically reduce the risk of accidents. A single operator can safely handle glazing panels that would normally require multiple people, eliminating the risks of manual transport.
Millimetre precision
The 360° rotation system and adjustable tilt allow the glazing panel to be oriented exactly into the desired position. Integrated lifting facilitates final installation, enabling the glass to be raised to the correct height with smooth movements. This means faster installations, fewer errors and no damage to frames or surfaces.
Versatility on every surface
Skipper GL's non-marking tracks ensure optimal grip on tiles, parquet, concrete, gravel and delicate flooring. The special profile leaves no marks on finished floors, making the manipulator ideal for both construction sites and interventions in already completed environments, including outdoors.
