Lock-to-Grip Suction Cup Lifters

Style A


Style B	Style C	Style D	Style E	Style F

Lock these lifters onto your material with the flip of a lever—it creates a vacuum under the cup for a strong, continuous grip. To release the suction, flip the lever back. Use these lifters on nonporous surfaces, such as mirrors and metal sheets.

Warning: Never use to lift items over people.

For Flat and Curved Surfaces—Lifters for flat and curved surfaces have flexible cups that are designed to grip gently rounded objects, such as windshields or large tanks.

Styles A, C, D, and E—Styles A, C, D, and E have multiple cups for more control during lifting than a single cup. Additional points of contact make it easier to position items, especially if they are large or oddly shaped. Their large handles are comfortable to hold.

Styles B and F—Styles B and F have a single cup, so you can secure them with one hand.

For Textured Surfaces—Lifters for textured surfaces can also grip stone slabs, metal plates with raised patterns, and other uneven material.

Replacement Cup Kits—Replacement cup kits include a cup, lever, and spring.

Holders—Holders mount to a wall for quick lifter access.

Vacuum Lifters for Large Panels

Lift and position windows, large metal sheets, and even solar panels scratch free. These lifters connect to a crane or hoist and use suction cups to grip material. This makes them more gentle than tongs or plate clamps that can scratch delicate surfaces. For precise positioning, you can tilt these lifters up to 90° and rotate them 180°. As you rotate them, you can lock them at 45° increments. To prevent shifting during installation, they’ll automatically lock at 90°.

The battery-powered vacuum pump generates and maintains strong suction. If suction is lost, the pump senses it and automatically reactivates to maintain grip. A vacuum gauge lets you monitor pressure to stay within safe operating limits. If the pump runs out of battery during a lift, these lifters have a vacuum reserve tank that allows them to maintain grip and support the load for at least five minutes. Each lifter includes a battery gauge and a charger.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

For Smooth Surfaces For Textured Surfaces	For Smooth Surfaces

Cups—Vacuum cups for smooth and textured surfaces will grip stone slabs, pebbled fiberglass, and textured tiles. They have a sealing ring that resists abrasive particles. Keep in mind, they have a lower lifting capacity than vacuum cups designed for smooth surfaces only.

Hand-Held Panel Lifters

Move large, heavy sheets of plywood, fiberboard, cement board, and drywall with these nonmarring lifters. Unlike suction-cup and magnetic lifters, they will hold porous and nonmagnetic sheets. Pads on the lifter grip the panel when the handle is raised. Set the load down and lower the handle to release the material.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Pump-to-Grip Suction Cup Lifters


Style A	Style C	Style D	Style E

Style F	Style G	Style H	Style J

With a hand pump that quickly creates a strong vacuum seal, these lifters can hold heavier loads than push-to-grip lifters. Use them on mirrors, metal sheets, and other nonporous surfaces. You can hold items either horizontally or vertically. An indicator line appears on the pump if you lose suction—pump the lifter until it disappears and it’s safe to lift again.

Warning: Never use to lift items over people.

Style C—Style C have a rigid, offset handle that helps keep loads stable.

Style D—Style D have a handle that pivots 180° so you can adjust the lifting angle.

Style E—Style E have a pivoting tie-down ring instead of a handle to secure loads with a rope, chain, or cord.

Style G—Style G have a T-handle that threads onto a _1/4"-20 stud. Remove the handle, and you can attach tools or accessories.

Style H—Style H have an oblong shape that’s good for lifting long, narrow objects.

Style J—Style J have a handle with two grips, so you can hold them vertically or at an angle. This gives you more control when you’re holding and positioning large items, such as windshields.

For Textured Surfaces—Lifters for textured surfaces have a soft suction cup that can grip patterned glass, stone slabs, and other uneven surfaces.

Audible Alarm—Lifters with an audible alarm warn you that vacuum levels are low even when you can’t see the red-line indicator.

Handheld Battery-Powered Vacuum Lifters

Create a strong vacuum seal for lifting with the push of a button. These lifters have a battery-powered pump to quickly suction to flat surfaces. If suction decreases, the pump instantly senses it and automatically reactivates to maintain grip. Use them on nonporous surfaces, such as tile, glass, plastic, and sheet metal. You can hold items either horizontally or vertically. Press the valve button to release these lifters.

A full charge lasts for about 600 pump cycles. They include a manual pump, so you can still use them while the battery recharges.

Warning: Never use to lift items over people.

Suction-Cup Holders Shown In Use

Temporarily hold glass, metal, or plastic panels and sheets while you work on them. A residue-free alternative to duct tape, these holders use suction to hold a panel or sheet. Loop the cord over hooks, nails, or framing to suspend your workpiece. Pull tabs on the cups make removal easy. Each pack includes two holders—use on each corner for a more secure hold.
