ClearCab Equipment Glass brings the glass truck to Torrington: flat stock, pattern cutting gear and setting materials, priced from the rates published on this site.
Torrington is the doorway to Connecticut logging country, and forestry machines are the toughest glass duty we service. Skidders, forwarders, harvesters and forestry mulchers work all winter in the hills, and every one of them runs guarded, thick, often polycarbonate front protection because trees fight back.
What actually breaks on forestry machines is usually not the armored front. It is the side and rear glass, the panes the guards do not cover, taken out by a swinging choker, a rolling log or the top of a machine backing into a leaner on a dark landing. Those are flat panes, we cut them to pattern, and we drive to the landing to do it.
The pits and the Route 8 contractors keep the rest of the calendar full: loader windshields hazed by aggregate spray, dozer door glass cracked by track-thrown stone, and the occasional screed operator who caught a shovel handle wrong. Everything prices from the same published table, hill towns included.
Getting glass to a landing
Logging landings in the Litchfield hills are the hardest places we service, not because of the work but because of the access. A landing a mile up a woods road in February is reachable, but only if you tell us about the road when you call. The truck carries chains, but knowing about the last hill before we commit saves everyone a cold afternoon.
Torrington and the hill towns
Regular stops include the Route 8 corridor yards, logging landings in the surrounding Litchfield hills, the gravel and aggregate pits west of the city. Nearby crews also call us out to Bristol, New Britain, Plainville.
Logging and pit crews ask
Will you actually come to a logging landing?
Yes. Describe the woods road honestly when you call, distance, grade, mud or ice, and we will tell you straight whether the truck makes it or we meet the machine at the header.
Do you carry forestry-grade polycarbonate?
We can supply and fit poly panels for front and roof positions on forestry duty machines, and glass for the side and rear positions where visibility matters more than armor.
How do hill town distances affect price?
The published job ranges hold across the service area. On the far hill towns the travel share sits at the upper end of the range, and we will give you the firm number before we roll.
Our pit loader windshield is hazed, not cracked. Worth replacing?
If the operator fights glare at sunrise or sunset, yes. Hazed glass is a visibility problem long before it is a breakage problem, and a fresh laminated pane is cheap insurance against backing over something.
