Heavy Equipment Glass Replacement

Heavy Equipment Glass Replacement Sacramento, CA

Construction Equipment Glass Window Replacement Sacramento

As with cars, heavy and construction equipment use glass to protect drivers and operators from the hazards of flying debris. It could be argued that the glass on heavy equipment is even more necessary than the glass in cars because the particles and bits that are likely to fly at you on a job site are a lot bigger and more dangerous than the bugs that your windshield keeps out of your face on the road. Whether one kind of glass is more important than the other, though, is beside the question. The point is that both heavy equipment and passenger vehicles make use of glass for protection.

As with cars, glass on heavy equipment can break and must be replaced. Many factors can damage a window or windshield on construction equipment. A flying rock can put a big crack in the window, and the fact is that a heavy equipment windshield is actually very likely to come into contact with a piece of rock or debris that is big enough to cause some pretty serious damage.

If your construction equipment has a damaged window, you cannot use it. The fact that the glass has not completely shattered yet is not an excuse. Once the structural integrity of the glass has been compromised, you can’t continue using the vehicle until the glass has been replaced. Damaged glass does not provide the protection that undamaged glass does. It can break at any moment; even a small amount of pressure or impact can cause the window to shatter.

As a business owner, it is your responsibility to ensure that the people you oversee are not placed in unnecessary danger. If your construction equipment has damaged glass, even slight pressure can cause it to shatter. If your glass has any minor damage, you need to replace it to ensure your crew is safe. Working with damaged glass can put your crew in danger and expose you to hefty fines.
