What should you look out for with a glass rack?

A glass rack is an add-on component and deserves just as much attention as the commercial vehicle itself. First check the fastening: is the rack properly welded or bolted to the chassis, and are there no cracks or loose points at the mounting points? Next, check for corrosion, since a glass rack is often exposed to the elements and rusts faster than the bodywork. Also pay attention to the load capacity: glass is heavy, so add the weight of the rack and the load to the vehicle's permitted payload. Finally, check whether the rubber or felt protective strips are still intact, so that glass sheets don't rub directly against the metal.

Van, pick-up or trailer with a glass rack: what suits your work?

A closed van with a glass rack protects the glass against weather and theft and is the most common choice for daily use in construction and glazing work. A pick-up or open load bed with a glass rack makes loading and unloading from the side easier, which is useful for large or irregular sheets, but offers less protection against rain. A trailer with a glass rack is a flexible option if you don't want to sacrifice the load space of your van, but it does require a suitable driving licence, tow bar and extra parking space. Base your choice on trip distance, how weather-sensitive your glass types are and how often you transport other loads at the same time.

Buy or financial lease?

When purchasing a commercial vehicle with a glass rack, you weigh up a direct purchase against financial lease. With financial lease, up to 100% and with a term of up to 72 months, you spread the investment and keep working capital available for materials and staff - even as a start-up or self-employed professional, this is often possible without a large own contribution. If you pay cash, you immediately become full owner and have no monthly payments, which is attractive with a healthy cash flow. Trading in your current commercial vehicle is welcome in both cases and can further reduce the entry price.

Checking maintenance, inspection and history

When buying a used vehicle with a glass rack, always ask about the maintenance history of both the vehicle and the rack, since a poorly maintained commercial vehicle will cost you extra later on. During the APK (MOT/TÜV) inspection, check that the glass rack doesn't obstruct the view of the license plate and lights, and that lashing points and straps for the load are present and undamaged. Drive or test-drive the vehicle with a representative load, so you can assess how the vehicle steers and brakes under weight. Every vehicle you buy at Tatev Auto is APK (MOT/TÜV) approved and delivered road-ready, so you can hit the road with confidence right away.
