Transport organizes the transportation of PVC plastic windows throughout Russia.
With us you save - we charge for transportation only in one direction! We carry out both one-time and regular transportation.
PVC windows are fragile goods, so during transportation it is necessary to take into account the design features of the windows. Horizontal transportation of windows is not allowed, otherwise cracks and damage may occur due to improper load distribution.
To reduce the load on the frame, window units are transported in a vertical (slightly inclined) position.
For this purpose, vehicles are equipped with a “pyramid” - a special design with mandatory cargo fixation, which eliminates the possibility of cargo deformation and completely eliminates sagging.
To ensure safety from damage, plastic windows are packaged in rigid containers. In addition, during transportation it is necessary to work out the route taking into account the condition of the road surface. It is important to ensure uniform and smooth movement of the machine to avoid shaking.
What to consider when transporting double-glazed windows
Delivery of metal-plastic structures by a special vehicle is a cost-effective option. However, the following points must be taken into account before transportation:
- each window frame must be carefully loaded into the transport intended for it;
- double-glazed windows should be securely secured in the car body to prevent them from tipping over and being damaged;
- securely close the sides of the body to reduce increased wind loads on the windows.
You must first clarify the dimensions and weight of the product and correlate these data with the transport for delivery. You also need to inspect the products for damage and close the doors.
You cannot install packages on vehicles if they protrude beyond the sides.
Why you should turn to professionals
Double-glazed windows are a fragile type of cargo, so it is important to understand how to properly transport plastic windows, as well as take into account a number of nuances and features of such transportation. Based on this, it is better to entrust this matter to professionals. The main reasons why you should contact specialists:
- special equipment is used to ensure the safety of structures during transportation;
- all rules for transporting cargo of this category are observed;
- a guarantee is provided, so you can be sure that you will receive the products without any damage;
- experienced loaders will quickly load the double-glazed windows and securely fix them in the body of the car;

What types of transportation of plastic windows are there?
There are several transportation options for transporting fragile metal-plastic windows. Transportation with fastening on a metal truss is considered more reliable.
Transportation on a “pyramid”
A “pyramid” is installed in the body of a capacious vehicle - a profile metal structure, the purpose of which is the safe transportation of plastic windows. Afterwards, you need to do the following:
- Place the windows in a vertical position on both sides of the pyramid.
- Place soft material (cardboard, fabric, foam sheet) underneath to avoid damage to the frame.
- Securely fasten the double-glazed windows so that they cannot move in different directions and rub with each other or with the pyramid.
- Pack the glass with film to prevent dust or stones from getting on it.
- Transport products at low speed, minimizing vibration and jumps if possible.
Transportation lying down
One window can be transported independently, without securing it to the “pyramid”. It is reliably strengthened and transported lying down, having previously laid a sheet of foam plastic on the surface. The second sheet is placed on top of the glass unit.
Transportation of plastic windows lying down is carried out at low speed. When driving, you must avoid sudden movements, braking, and turning.
The crucial point is loading and unloading the glass unit. Such actions must be approached with caution, carefully laid and well strengthened so as not to damage the fragile product.
What is the best way to transport?
After purchasing double-glazed windows, the question arises: what and how to transport PVC windows. The safest and most reliable method of transportation is the use of special equipment. It is a regular truck, in the back of which a pyramid is installed. This device allows you to transport windows in a vertical position. This prevents them from moving around the car body, thereby protecting the double-glazed windows from various damages (deflection of the profile, scratches, chips, etc.).
Is it possible to transport windows horizontally if there is no special device? It is quite possible to do this, but it should be borne in mind that in this case there is a high probability of damaging the structure. To avoid negative consequences, you need to learn how to transport windows without a pyramid. To do this, you will need to choose a car with a spacious body. You can use the Gazelle or a similar vehicle. A sheet of foam plastic must be placed on the floor of the body. A glass unit is placed on it. It must be securely fixed, otherwise the structure may be damaged during transportation. You should also place a sheet of foam on top to provide additional protection.
Important! Many people often wonder whether it is possible to transport windows lying down in a passenger car or on the roof rack. It is better to avoid this method of transportation, since it does not provide the products with adequate safety.
What are pyramids for double-glazed windows?
Using special metal pyramids, loaders and riggers ensure the safety of fragile products when loading and unloading them and moving them in warehouses. Double-glazed windows are securely fixed using a metal truss and delivered to their destination in excellent condition.
Transportation of double-glazed windows with a pyramid is safe and very convenient; the metal supports of the structure are covered with rubber profiles to protect fragile products. The pyramid trusses are located at an angle for easy loading and unloading of plastic products.
Movement around the production area is carried out using pyramids equipped with wheels. They provide maneuverability and reliability.
The windows must be secured to the pyramid using special straps. For self-delivery, you can use a vehicle that has a closed body or an awning that protects the product. Often for such purposes they use a “gazelle”, in which a pyramid is installed for transporting windows with their own hands.
TRANSPORTATION USING A PYRAMID WITH MANIPULATORS
Pyramid
- a polyhedron, the base of which is a polygon, and the remaining faces are triangles having common vertices. Due to its geometric design, the pyramid has a very stable position and is able to withstand heavy loads on its side faces. People noticed this feature of the pyramid back in ancient times and began to actively use it. In addition, the pyramids are credited with various mystical powers that can change the properties of the substance inside the pyramid and have an impact on humans. We will not say this for sure, since our pyramids act as a support for transporting flat, fragile products, such as sheet glass, double-glazed windows, stained glass windows, window frames, gates, sections of fences, partitions in an inclined position.
The pyramid for transporting building materials, metal products, PVC is a three-dimensional metal structure and is a support-bearing structure welded from a profile pipe in the shape of a truncated pyramid, coated with resistant anti-corrosion paint. There are many building materials and products that, for one reason or another, are simply impossible to transport without the help of a special support - a pyramid. A wide variety of shapes and sizes of transported materials and products requires the carrier to use pyramids of different sizes and shapes to ensure the safety of the cargo during transportation.
The transport company MosAvtoPro uses pyramids in its work, intended only for transporting a certain group of cargo. Our specialists have extensive experience in transporting goods using a pyramid, which guarantees the delivery of your cargo safe and sound to the unloading point.
To transport large double-glazed windows, stained-glass windows, glass, advertising structures with maximum dimensions of 7 meters in length and 3 meters in height with a total weight of up to 5 tons, a double-sided metal pyramid of increased strength with wooden flooring on the base and sides of the pyramid is used. The length of such a pyramid is 6 meters, width - 2.3 meters, height - 2.9 meters. This is a very powerful pyramid, made of large-section profile pipe, which guarantees its stability and reliability. Using such a pyramid, you can significantly reduce transportation costs, since more cargo can be transported in one trip.
To transport gates, billboards, fences, exhibition stands, PVC and aluminum windows and doors with maximum dimensions of 10 meters in length and 2.65 meters in height with a total weight of up to 3 tons, a double-sided metal pyramid 6 meters long, 2.2 meters wide is used , 2.6 meters high. The pyramid is made specifically for use in conjunction with our manipulator machines. The pyramid is located on the manipulator platform and is attached to it with a special mount. This pyramid is made of profile pipe, lightweight and reliable.
For the transportation of double-glazed windows, glass, stained-glass windows, advertising structures, gates, billboards, fence sections, exhibition stands and other volumetric structures with maximum dimensions of 7 meters in length and 3.6 meters in height with a total weight of up to 2 tons, a diagonal one-sided metal pyramid is used 5 meters long, 2.3 meters wide, 2.9 meters high. This truncated pyramid is ideal for transporting flat and tall items, such as metal gates or fence sections up to 3.75 meters high, while remaining within the permitted dimensions for the transport of goods according to traffic regulations. This will allow you to save significant funds when transporting using such a pyramid, since oversized items are transported at the price of transporting oversized items.
To transport standard boxes with glass with maximum dimensions of 2.3 meters in length and 2.7 meters in height with a total weight of up to 7 tons, a one-sided metal transversely inclined pyramid 2 meters long, 2.3 meters wide, 1.5 meters high is used. This pyramid is specially designed for transporting standard boxes with glass. With its help, you can transport up to 4 boxes of glass at a time, which is especially convenient in tandem with a manipulator, with the help of a crane these boxes can be loaded and unloaded safe and sound after transportation.
All of the above pyramids are actively used for transporting goods by our manipulators. MosAvtoPro specialists have accumulated extensive experience in such transportation and know all the subtleties and nuances of using pyramids in tandem with manipulators of different lifting capacities and platform lengths.

How to transport plastic windows lying down
If windows are transported by personal transport, the seats in the passenger car must be removed or a roof rack installed. Place fastening straps on the selected location and lay soft cloth or clean cardboard on top. Lay the window horizontally, with the hinges facing up. Then cover it again with material or cardboard and place a smaller window on top.
In the places where the fastening belt adheres to the metal-plastic product, you need to lay cardboard or any available soft material. Turn the ratchet, put it on the safety lock and inspect the vehicle.
One window can be transported in this position.
