Since 2019, The Sheetstand has been a leading name in the construction industry. This innovative glass trestle has proven to be an extremely reliable solution for the safe storage of sheet materials. With its unique design, The Sheetstand has the potential to replace traditional wood and steel storage trestles simply because the product offers significant advantages over existing solutions. The investment in The Sheetstand pays off quickly.
What makes The Sheetstand® the best trestle for storing glass?
The Sheetstand is specially designed for the safe and efficient storage of sheet materials, including glass. Made from recycled plastic, this glass rack not only offers environmental benefits but also has a longer lifespan than traditional wooden racks. The Sheetstand is also moisture-resistant, making it a cost-effective and sustainable choice.
Traditional storage racks, such as wooden and steel glass racks, often have drawbacks in terms of safety, ergonomics, storage, and transportation. The design of The Sheetstand solves these problems and offers ease of use on the work floor.
Bij BMN werken we sinds de introductie in 2019 met The Sheetstand. We kopen deze opslagbokken in en stellen ze beschikbaar voor verhuur aan onze klanten voor de opslag van diverse plaatmaterialen op de bouwplaats. De bewezen sterkte, grote belastbaarheid, en het voldoen aan de gestelde eisen maken dat de kunststof opslagbok veilig in gebruik is. Juist die veiligheid, in combinatie met het gebruiksgemak, zijn voor steeds meer klanten doorslaggevend om te kiezen voor De Plaatmaat. En omdat De Plaatmaat in samenspraak met gebruikers op basis van praktijkervaringen wordt doorontwikkeld, wordt het product steeds beter!

Why choose The Sheetstand® for glass storage?
The Sheetstand is distinguished by its versatile design, making this trestle for glass storage suitable for a variety of sheet materials, including glass, plaster, plywood, MDF and plastic. Although originally designed for finishing projects, the trestle is now also popular with glass installers for storing glass panels. Here are some reasons why The Sheetstand is the best choice for glass plate storage:
1. Strength and Stability: The Sheetstand’s plastic construction offers a strong and stable structure, allowing each set of two storage trestles to support up to 1500 KG. This makes the glass trestles very suitable for the safe storage of heavy glass panes.
2. Moisture resistance: Unlike wooden glass trestles, The Sheetstand is moisture resistant and can therefore be stored outdoors without risk of damage. The trestles are also easy to move thanks to their light weight of 5.5 KG and handle.
3. Space Efficiency: In projects with limited space, The Sheetstand can be paired back-to-back to double the storage capacity without taking up much additional space. For extra-long or heavy glass panels, several trestles can be placed side by side and coupled.
4. Stackability and Transport: The smart design features of The Sheetstand make stacking easy. The trestles can be placed on a pallet and secured securely, allowing up to 40 units to be transported on one pallet.
Safety and Ergonomics
Safety and ergonomics are core aspects of The Sheetstand’s design. The handle and light weight contribute to an ergonomic work posture and reduce strain on the user. Wooden trestles are often not reliable in terms of safety and this can lead to injury and damage. The Sheetstand comes standard with operating and safety instructions; safety add-ons are also available: the heel and coupler provide additional stability.
Sustainability and Environment
In line with the trend toward circular and responsible construction, The Sheetstand is made of recycled plastic. This contributes to a more sustainable environment, and discarded trestles can also be recycled, preventing waste of raw materials.
Specifications of The Sheetstand® for Glass Storage
The Sheetstand provides robust support for glass plates or panels of various sizes and weights. Each set of two trestles can support up to 1500 kg of glass. The maximum height of the glass sheets placed is 1200 mm. For heavier sheets, additional trestles can be added and connected with a coupler for increased stability and safety during storage.
