Replacement or repair of glazing on agricultural and construction machinery

Why can the glazing of your machine break?

 

Agricultural machinery and construction equipment are susceptible to glazing damage due to various factors, such as being hit by projectiles from their surroundings, working in confined spaces near other machinery or loads of heavy, long, or protruding materials, or even faulty maneuvers. These types of incidents are common in the environment in which construction and agricultural workers operate. However, they are not the only cause of reported glazing damage in this category of vehicle. Doors that are violently opened by a strong gust of wind against the frame of the driver's cab or moving parts of a loader, such as a shovel or bucket, hitting the glass of another piece of construction equipment located nearby, can cause cracks or breaks on the windshield or side glass. Additionally, the brutality of certain types of weather, such as hailstorms, is a recurring threat to machines that are often parked outdoors. The risk of acts of vandalism or break-ins cannot be ignored on construction sites, which have become increasingly common in recent years.

At Sekurit Partner, we understand the challenges that come with these types of incidents and the need for flexibility and adaptability. We're able to intervene on all brands and types of vehicles with one or more glazing pieces.

A technical expertise to determine the nature of your needs

Agricultural and forestry activities, as well as construction, public works, and civil engineering, all use their own specific equipment. Some machines are common to all these sectors, such as loaders with an excavator driven by two mechanical arms fixed on either side of a tractor cab mounted on tires or tracks.

At Sekurit Partner, we understand that each vehicle has its own unique characteristics and requires specific expertise and equipment to repair or replace the windshield or sidelite. Our expert technicians are equipped to handle a wide range of profiles, tonnages, and functions of machines, including hydraulic shovels, self-propelled graders, backhoes, crane cabs, compactors, or material transport trucks like dumpers and dump trucks. We can also respond to requests from local authorities who wish to refurbish the custom-made glazing of their motorized sweepers.

Our teams are trained to travel to rural areas to repair combine harvesters, mini-excavators, forage harvesters, telescopic handlers, and all types of tractors equipped with a mobile part dedicated to a particular task, such as a mower. We carefully study the technique and design of each vehicle beforehand to determine the nature of the operation to be carried out and the type of equipment to be mobilized to ensure compliance with the rules.

At Sekurit Partner, we have the human and material resources to respond to the particularities of each vehicle, ensuring that the windshield or sidelite replacement is carried out in compliance with the highest standards. So if you're looking for a partner that can handle glazing damage on a wide range of vehicles, look no further than Sekurit Partner.

 

Tailor-made parts and service

At Sekurit Partner, we understand that the glazing parts of agricultural and construction machines correspond to manufacturer's data, requiring an ultra-customized offer. That's why we work closely with our suppliers to receive and fit a product of the same quality and performance as the original part as quickly as possible. If necessary, our expert teams can place an order for custom-made equipment using laminated glass for the windshield or tempered glass for the sidelite. We also replace the polycarbonate parts used to secure certain openings or cover the front and rear lights.

Unlike traditional passenger car windshields, agricultural vehicles and construction trucks sometimes require other types of installation. Some models have the glazing directly screwed to the frame, while others are sealed using a rubber gasket that embeds the windshield or glazing with round angles. Our expert teams use a string to place the whole assembly, making it possible to finalize the installation of the seal on both sides of the window.

Finally, when they are swinging, the sidelite are mounted on hinges, requiring specialized expertise and equipment to ensure a safe and reliable installation. Our teams are trained and equipped to handle all types of installations, ensuring that the windshield and sidelite are installed correctly and securely.

At Sekurit Partner, we believe that every vehicle deserves the same level of care and attention, regardless of its type or size. That's why we're committed to providing the highest quality of service and using the best materials and equipment to ensure that your vehicle is safe and reliable. So if you're looking for a partner that can handle glazing replacement on agricultural and construction machines, look no further than Sekurit Partner.

 

How does Sekurit Partner work on your machine?

 

At Sekurit Partner, we understand that the conditions under which the work is to be carried out can vary depending on the size and height of the vehicle, as well as the site where it is immobilized. That's why our fitters assess these conditions directly with the customer before beginning any work. We take into consideration important parameters such as the height of the vehicle and the location of the glass to be changed, which will determine whether we need to use additional installation equipment.

For example, we may use a scaffold if the glass to be changed is located above a certain height, or a harness with a lanyard to secure the maneuver of our technicians when they are operating several meters above the ground. Some of our workshops use highly technical equipment, such as platforms carried by a motorized arm, robotic solutions for the removal and fitting of tilted windshields, or machines to assist in cutting.

At Sekurit Partner, we're committed to providing a quality service and ensuring that the repaired vehicle is returned to the owner in the same condition as when it was left with us. When we replace a windshield or sidelite, we take care to reinstall all equipment, accessories, and utility or decorative objects previously installed in the passenger compartment to the last detail and millimeter, including storage hooks, speakers, and personalized plates.

Our goal is to provide our customers with the highest level of service and ensure a seamless experience from start to finish. So if you're looking for a partner that's committed to providing quality service and attention to detail, look no further than Sekurit Partner.

 

Ice damage to your business vehicles: should it be repaired or replaced?

When it comes to glazing damage, it's important to understand that even a small impact on a tempered glazing, which breaks into small non-sharp pieces, cannot be repaired. This means that the window must be completely replaced. However, a laminated windshield can be sealed with a thermosetting resin under certain conditions.

At Sekurit Partner, we understand the differences between tempered and laminated glass and the specific conditions required for the repair or replacement of each type. Our expert teams are trained to assess the damage and determine the best course of action, whether it's a complete replacement or a repair with a thermosetting resin.

Our goal is to provide our customers with the highest quality of service and ensure that their glazing damage is repaired as quickly and efficiently as possible. So if you're looking for a partner that can handle all types of glazing damage, whether it's on tempered or laminated glass, look no further than Sekurit Partner.
