obrien.david.j Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) All, I've bought a tank from a club member. Need to move it from their house to mine, and again then after I get a stand built. I'd love it if someone had ~6 to borrow, twice Or if the club owns sets of these If not... I've heard they can be rented, checking now. An older post listed $15-day/each If I need them Twice, I'm considering just buying them Feedback needed, Which of these types am I looking for? @ $68 / pair - IMT Heavy Duty Dual Vacuum Suction Cup Glass Lifter with Curved Pads, Strength Handheld Stone Handling Tool, 330lb Horizontal Suction Cuphttps://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07DRBCK1X/ref=twister_B08CGP5DL4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 @ $40 / each - ZUOS 8" Glass Suction Cup Heavy Duty Hand-held Glass Lifter, Industrial Vacuum Lifter with handle for Granite Lifting &Window Replacement, 175 lbs Load Capacity/Carring Casehttps://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07K222FV1/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_MQwpFb0G3WC7G Edited August 19, 2020 by obrien.david.j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxmonkeyboy Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 you are 100% absolutely positively looking for the ones on the bottom, not the dual cup mickey mouse things. There are club members and LFS that have them. How big of a tank are we talking? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obrien.david.j Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Any other inputs from the group, before I go out and start buying these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bicyclebill Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I agree with Brian. I use the second ones down to move mine and they work well. There’s another guy on the forums that works glass for a living and he said those are the only way to go as wellSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxmonkeyboy Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Go in and talk to Jeff. It does kind of beg the question why the club doesn't have some of these for use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrien.david.j Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Thanks. I'll go sync with Jeff. *IF* I was buying, any reason why I need more than 8" ones. One suction cup == max one person. I can't lift even near 150lbs, let alone 265lbs. So I'm thinking 8". ZUOS 8" Glass Suction Cup - 150lb Safe Load Capacity @ $42 ZUOS 10" Glass Suction Cup - 265lb Safe Load Capacity @ $58 PNWMAS Club ... If I buy 6 of these, in a month+ (depends on how long it takes to get a stand), I'll be done with them - and willing to sell to the club at 75% of what I paid for them. PM if interested in discussing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrien.david.j Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Plans Set. Buying 2, Borrowing 4. Picked 8". Thanks for the advice everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higher Thinking Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Go in and talk to Jeff. It does kind of beg the question why the club doesn't have some of these for use? I've suggested we purchase these for two years in a row. It always gets shot down. Some people worry about liability.

pdxmonkeyboy Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Seriously? Liability? Just make people sign something. It is not like they are complicated. Anyways, not like i am ever moving my tank 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
