Applications
Carbon Hybrid Cylinders Used in Glass Transportation
In transportation, the increasing weight of glass panes and glass assemblies places greater demands on vehicle weight limits and space efficiency. As a solution, carbon hybrid cylinders have been adopted as a lighter alternative to traditional steel cylinders.
In glass loaders, these cylinders serve two main functions. They help lift and lower the glass panes into the trailer and then hold them firmly in place during transport to prevent vibration and breakage. Since the composite housing is made of a carbon fiber and aluminum hybrid, the cylinder weight is reduced from about 26.5 lbs (12 kg) to 12 lbs (5.5 kg). This means greater payload capacity for the vehicle and lower CO₂ emissions during transit.
