HAMMERGLASS REPLACES THE ORIGINAL SCREEN

Hammerglass offers unbreakable security glass solutions for a variety of different machines and vehicle types. Regardless of the end user, the solution is based on the same principles – safe, unbreakable, lightweight solutions for safe driver environments. Our protective glass solutions help to provide enhanced personal protection and a reduced risk of unscheduled stoppages which would entail unnecessary downtime costs. Hammerglass screens are bonded to the cab in the same way as the original screens, and can withstand both chemicals and windshield wipwers. The installation does not require any interference with the vehicle frame – interference that can affect the CE rating. Hammerglass is one of the few companies in the world that is certified in the ECE R43 class "Rigid Plastic Windscreens".

Unbreakable light weight solutions used as a replacement for standard screens, bullet-proof glass and grilles. Front, back, side or boom side windows. Split or non-split. Hammerglass replacement screens are available for the most commonly occurring machines, in thicknesses appropriate to the screen size and specific protection needs involved. The Hammerglass screen is fitted in the same way as the original screen, and will withstand both chemicals and the action of the windscreen wiper. In addition, the installation does not require any interference with the vehicle’s frame – interference that can affect the vehicle’s CE rating.

The screens are also available in a special heat-reducing version which removes around 50% of incoming solar heat.

The material properties of Hammerglass make it possible to cold bend a screen, where a glass joint or fixing with a window pillar would otherwise normally be required. An angled windscreen for a wheel loader can be supplied in one piece, which means the installation work can be completed within little more than an hour, which is a fraction of the time required for the installation of a normal glass screen. The screens can be provided with a sacrificial film to reduce wear and tear from the windscreen wiper in gravelly environments. One-piece angled screens save both time and money.

The Hammerglass screens withstand both chemicals and windscreen wipers. In highly exposed environments, the Hammerglass-screen can be provided with a self-adhesive sacrificial film, which the driver can replace as and when required.
