How to transport glass sheet.

Press half the width of the tape along one side of an edge of the glass then fold the other half of the tape over the edge and press it against. Assume that it might break away at any moment. Keeping this possibility in mind will cause you to dress and act safely. Wrap the cut edges of the glass with painter s tape.

Always carry glass from the top of the sheet or at the sides of the sheet near the top. Load the window glass into a moving van or truck so that it is upright and leaning at a roughly 45 degree. Most passenger vehicles won t accommodate an upright sheet of glass that s more than about 2 feet high and a few feet in length. You will only be able to use a standard vehicle to transport small panes of glass.

You ll need to brace the glass to keep it rigid and upright while it s being moved. This helps reinforce the entire structure and will keep most of the glass shards together if the pane breaks during transport. Place two strips of masking tape in an x shape across one side of the glass pane and then follow up with four smaller x shapes within the quarters created by the first x.
