COWEST RDS-12T Glass Vacuum Lifter Powers Large Curtain Wall Installation of TCL Museum
Release time:2026-06-02
COWEST RDS-12T 12 ton glass vacuum lifter features hydraulic rotation and flip, independent vacuum system and wireless remote control, ideal for large NorthGlass curtain wall panel installation on TCL Museum facade.
Project Introduction
The TCL Museum in Huizhou has launched a new facade renovation project to upgrade its exterior curtain wall with modern and high-grade glass materials. The project adopts customized ultra-large insulated glass panels from NorthGlass. Each glass panel features a super-large size of 2980mm × 16839mm and a total weight of more than 8 tons. Due to its oversized dimension and heavy weight, the glass installation work faces strict requirements on equipment load capacity, operation stability and installation accuracy. Traditional small glass vacuum lifters cannot meet the safety and precision standards of this landmark construction project, which requires professional heavy-duty glass handling equipment.
Professional Solution: COWEST RDS-12T Glass Vacuum Lifter
To solve the difficulties of large and heavy glass installation at the TCL Museum, COWEST Machinery deployed the high-performance RDS-12T glass vacuum lifter for the entire construction work. This heavy-duty model is specially developed for super large curtain wall glass installation, with a maximum load capacity of 12 tons. It provides sufficient safety margin for the 8-ton on-site glass panels, effectively ensuring construction safety.
The RDS-12T glass vacuum lifter is equipped with multiple core functional designs suitable for complex building construction scenarios. It supports full hydraulic rotation and hydraulic flipping, allowing construction workers to freely adjust the glass angle and orientation to adapt to various installation positions and achieve precise docking. In addition, every suction cup group is fitted with an independent vacuum system. This exclusive design avoids overall vacuum failure caused by the failure of a single group, greatly improving the safety coefficient of glass fixing. The whole device adopts wireless remote control operation, which enables operators to complete all adjustment work at a safe distance, simplifying the operation process and improving construction efficiency.
On-site Application Effect
During the curtain wall construction of TCL Museum, the COWEST RDS-12T glass vacuum lifter delivered excellent working performance. The multiple suction cups fit closely with the large glass surface, and the independent vacuum system quickly forms stable and reliable negative pressure to firmly absorb the heavy glass panels. With flexible wireless remote control and precise hydraulic adjustment, the equipment completes stable moving, angle fine-tuning and accurate positioning of the oversized glass. The whole installation process is stable, smooth and free of shaking and offset, perfectly meeting the high-standard installation requirements of the museum’s exterior curtain wall.
Project Summary
The successful application of the COWEST RDS-12T glass vacuum lifter in the TCL Museum renovation project fully demonstrates the outstanding performance of COWEST’s heavy-duty glass handling equipment. With 12-ton super load capacity, safe independent vacuum system, flexible hydraulic adjustment function and convenient wireless remote control, the RDS-12T glass vacuum lifter has become a reliable choice for oversized and heavy curtain wall glass installation. It provides efficient, stable and safe professional solutions for various large-scale landmark building facade projects.
