Just like your conventional vehicle, semi-trucks and heavy equipment glass suffers damage. This is not something your local mechanic can fix, they require specialist repair by professionals. These vehicles are used 24/7 as a work-horse so it imperative that these vehicles are done quickly and safely to ensure operators can get back to work.
Trucks
Whether you are the owner or operator you will know that the safety of the driver and cargo is the highest priority. If the glass windshield gets damaged and your field of vision is impaired whilst operating the truck then this you could potentially have a nasty accident on your hands. It is also essential to ensure that mirrors are in tip top condition, as you need to be able to see either side of the truck while operating it. These are big vehicles to operate; the last thing you want is extra stress trying to see through a cracked windshield.
Heavy Equipment Glass
Due to the nature of the job, heavy equipment windows and glass endure harsh conditions, such as falling debris, sun exposure and unfortunately vandalism.
The window glass on heavy equipment like backhoes, forklifts and excavators are a very important safety feature. They protect the person operating the heavy equipment from debris and flying gravel, dirt and stones, which is very common on construction sites. If you get damaged glass in this environment then the operator of the vehicle will be at risk so you will need to get it repaired as soon as possible. Here at Ace Glass, we specialize in large truck and heavy equipment glass repairs.
