However, moving sheets of glass can be a relatively worry-free and simple process if you know how to properly load and transport it.
Things You Will Need
Upright
-
Put on your gloves. It is important to protect your hands when transporting glass, as it can severely cut you if it breaks or shatters.
-
Load the window glass into a moving van or truck so that it is upright and leaning at a roughly 45-degree angle to the side of the truck. Have two people on hand to move particularly large or heavy pieces of glass.
-
Secure the glass by putting something sturdy at the base of it to prevent the glass from shifting or sliding while the van is moving.
-
Drape a blanket or towel over the top edge of the glass where it meets the side of the truck to prevent chipping.
-
Drive the moving van to your destination, making sure to drive slowly. Avoid making fast, sharp turns and driving through potholes.
-
Unload the glass carefully when you reach your destination.
