glass suction cups
 

Well I need to move a tank into my house with the weather we got for tomorrow moving it with bare hand will be a problem, so does anyone have or know where I could find (Vacuum Suction Cups With ABS Handle) to buy or rent.:biggrin:

Not 100% sure but I think Kevin @ RCC might have some.

have seen them in Princess Auto

check with your local hockey rink, they might have some you could borrow

I got mine at princess auto but lee valley had the best ones i have seen around.

Last few times I needed some I just rented them. Most tool rental places seem to have them..

If you were in the Vancouver/Burnaby area I could loan you mine:wink:

Thanks for all the replies guys, Dave from http://www.conceptaquatics.ca/ offered me to use some of his but I figure I will need them for later so I bough
Some from princess auto.

Eli, depend on the size of your tank you might need to get some pneumatic ones with a heavy duty handle to pick up anything larger than a 180 gallon. Those ones from princess auto are only rated for a very low load.

The ones I got they are rated to carry as one worker says about 200lbs of weight.
They are like 3 cups to every handle made with hard plastic.
Well I am off to pickup, wish me luck and I will let you all know how it goes:biggrin:

Suction cups
 

If you are a member of the Aquarium Club of Edmonton, they have a set of 4 that are lent to members. We just moved a heavy 150 with them and they worked like a charm.

A new build coming soon

Is that the tank from Black Phantom?

Don't tell me you are still trying to get a hold of him:biggrin:
Yes it is that tank,man that was heavy more guys next time.

Hey Greg just a thought I could use a welder to build me a stand for it:wink:

I asked him to check the e-mail time and if you were first it was yours, I meet him before when I bought a bunch of his fish.


PM me the dimensions you want, I have a price list going so I can give you the price right away.
