Internal Glass Poles

Strap-locking poles providing secure, non-marking internal glass and panel retention.

The Internal Retention System offers the same proven performance as Metalcraft’s external poles, with a strap-and-cleat locking system replacing the spring pin for interior applications. Each pole locates firmly at the base, while the adjustable strap locks it securely to the rack frame. Sliding polymer blocks provide precise load restraint for glass or flat panels. Designed for speed, safety, and protection, this system ensures efficient handling within enclosed vans, utes, and truck bodies.

Non-Marking Polymer Protection

All rack and pole contact surfaces are clad in Metalcraft’s grey polymer, preventing marking, abrasion, or pressure damage to glass during transit.


Fully Adjustable Sliding Retention Blocks

Self-locking cam strap and sliding polymer blocks allow infinite pressure adjustment, adapting instantly to any glass size or configuration.

Secure Multi-Position Base System

he aluminium slotted base locks the pole firmly into position while offering multiple pole locations for accurate internal load control.

Fast Load & Unload Workflow

Quick clamping, non-marking polymer blocks, and optional scissor clamps significantly reduce loading time while improving handling efficiency.
