Pump-to-Grip Suction Cup Lifters


Style A	Style B	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.

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.

Corded Suction Cup Holders


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.

Electric Pen-Sized Small Parts Vacuum Lifters


Fixed Vacuum	Adjustable Vacuum


Fixed Vacuum (Front)	Adjustable Vacuum (Front)

Pick up and release small, delicate parts with fingertip control. These electric lifters create a continuous vacuum system to lift microchips, circuit boards, and other sensitive components without squeezing or scratching them. Made from ESD-safe materials, they prevent electrostatic discharges that could damage your parts. Plus, Buna-N vacuum cups won’t leave marks behind. To release suction, press the button on the pen.

Fixed Vacuum—Fixed lifters operate at a set vacuum level, so they’re good for handling small parts of similar size, weight, and material. When perfectly sealed, their vacuum level is 10 in. of Hg. This may be too strong for very delicate material such as thin plastic film.

Adjustable Vacuum—Adjustable lifters have a knob to change the vacuum level. Adjust the vacuum level to just below atmospheric pressure to lift extremely delicate items, such as a thin piece of foil or film strip. Raise the vacuum level up to 10 in. of Hg to lift bolts, shims, and other heavier items. To reduce energy consumption, these lifters have an automatic on/off function that starts the vacuum when you pick up the pen from its holder and stops it when you put the pen back in. A bar graph display shows real-time vacuum levels to confirm an effective seal. These lifters are designed to limit shedding, so they’re rated for use in ISO Class 5 clean rooms.

Miniature Cup Kits—Miniature cup kits include miniature tips that can lift very tiny parts down to 0.004" in size—about the thickness of a sheet of paper. Made with acetal, they are ESD safe. You can use them in precision engineering and electronics, such as building or repairing printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Battery-Powered Pen-Sized Small Parts Vacuum Lifters

Lift microchips, circuit boards, and other small, delicate parts without deforming or scratching them—no outlet or compressed air line required. These compact lifters generate continuous vacuum using a battery-powered pump, so you can take them wherever you need. They're made from ESD-safe materials to prevent electrostatic discharges that could zap your parts. Plus, the Buna-N vacuum cups won't leave marks behind. Tap the button with your fingertip to release the suction.

Clean Room Vacuum Lifters—Clean room lifters minimize particle generation. They’re rated ISO Class 1, which is the highest standard of clean room cleanliness.
