Beclawat Manufacturing Inc. Unveils New Super-Duty Transit Sliding Window System

New advanced technology aims to reduce downtime and improve operator safety.

Since 1912, Beclawat Manufacturing Inc. has been renowned for its top-quality and innovative production of complete window and door solutions serving the evolving needs of the marine, rail, transit and defense industries.

One such need in the global transit market is high-frequency-use windows, such as operator cab sliders. These windows continue to pose a number of problems and concern for transit authorities. Often, these poorly performing windows create not only increased repair and replacement demands but also the potential for serious injury and lost-time incidents for transit personnel.

Beclawat has responded to this need by developing a new super-duty transit sliding window system that combines advanced materials and designs to create a window built for the long haul.

With duty-cycle durability into the millions, Beclawat’s transit slider is designed to provide consistent performance and durability for years to come. The new operator-friendly design is sure to become the new standard.

As part of the Prelco group of companies, Beclawat has a collective team of approximately 575 employees, six locations and a full engineering department. The parent company, Prelco Inc., is one of the largest glass fabricators in North America, and plays an integral role in the manufacture of specialized glazing systems for a diverse range of industries including transportation, military and architectural.

Together, Beclawat and Prelco collaborate and share knowledge to provide a customer-focused team that makes them a clear leader in innovation.
