Manual Glass Storage with Individually Extractible Racks

The Schiavo CLV is a manual glass storage system developed for the organised and space-efficient storage of regular-size glass sheets and complete glass packages.

Each storage rack can be extracted individually, allowing the operator to access the required glass type, thickness or colour without moving the complete storage structure.

This simple and practical design makes the CLV suitable for glass-processing companies seeking dependable storage with limited mechanical and electrical complexity.

Regular-Size Glass Storage

The CLV is designed for glass sheets up to 3,300 × 2,600 mm.

This format covers the most common sheet sizes used in architectural glass, insulating glass, furniture glass, interior applications and general glass processing.

Individually Extractible Racks

Each rack can be manually pulled out from the storage structure.

The selected rack moves forward into an accessible working position, making it easier to load or withdraw individual glass sheets and complete packages.

This configuration provides direct access to each stored glass category while maintaining an organised and compact storage area.

Flexible Package Support Widths

The CLV is available with different package-support widths to accommodate different quantities and types of glass.

Available support widths include 110, 150 and 220 mm.

These configurations allow the storage system to be adapted for lighter glass packages, standard production stock or heavier complete packages.

Heavy-Duty Storage Capacity

Depending on the selected support width, the rack configuration can support substantial glass loads.

The available capacities make the CLV suitable for professional industrial use where each storage position may contain a complete glass package.

Optional Upper Storage Level

One of the distinctive features of the CLV is the possibility of creating an additional storage area above the main rack structure.

This upper level can be reached by stairs and can be used for storing tools, accessories, packaging materials, spare parts or other production items.

The additional level helps use the available factory height and can significantly improve overall space efficiency.

Compact Use of Floor Space

The extractible-rack concept allows multiple glass packages to be organised in a relatively compact area.

Only the selected rack is pulled into the access position, while the remaining racks stay inside the main structure.

This makes the CLV suitable for workshops where warehouse space is limited but direct access to different glass types is required.

Simple Manual Operation

The CLV operates without motorised rack movement or complex electronic controls.

Manual operation reduces electrical requirements, simplifies installation and limits the number of components requiring maintenance.

This makes the system especially suitable for small and medium-size glass-processing companies seeking a robust and cost-effective storage solution.

Organised Glass Inventory

The individual racks allow glass to be organised according to thickness, colour, coating, composition or intended application.

The system can be used for float glass, coated glass, laminated glass, mirrors and other regular-size sheet materials.

Robust Industrial Construction

The CLV is designed for professional glass-processing environments where the storage structure must safely support heavy and fragile materials.

Its steel frame and individual rack system provide the rigidity and stability required for daily industrial operation.

Designed for Easy Access

Because every rack can be extracted independently, operators can access the required glass package without rearranging unrelated stock.

This improves workflow efficiency and helps reduce unnecessary handling of fragile glass sheets.

Low Maintenance Requirements

The manual design uses fewer electrical, electronic and powered mechanical components than automatic storage systems.

This simplifies routine inspection and helps reduce maintenance requirements and potential machine downtime.

Designed for Low Total Cost of Ownership

The CLV combines straightforward manual operation, flexible rack configurations, compact storage and the possibility of an additional upper storage level.

These characteristics provide an economical and durable solution for glass processors requiring efficient storage without advanced automation.

Made in Italy

The CLV reflects Schiavo’s experience in manufacturing storage and handling equipment for the glass industry.

Its practical rack concept, robust construction and flexible configuration provide a dependable Made in Italy solution for professional glass factories.
