![]() I have used suction cups to install some pretty big tripple glazed glass units with excellent results.
The cups that I have were purchased a Princess Auto. They have three cups about three inches in diameter mounted to a triangular handel. We have used two of these to lift tripple glazed windows about four feet wide x six feet high. I can't remember the exact load rating but it was fairly high on the tripple cup version. |

![]() I would consider placing the tank (on its side) on a piece of plywood. Use stretch wrap to attach the tank to the wood.
Now, if you rest the tank on the window sill (on purpose or by accident) the load is dispersed and it won't crack. As a bonus, if you make the wood a few inches longer on each end, it gives you something to hold onto (you can never have to many places to hold with a tank that size !).

![]() i agree with the plywood-but make sure its at least 5/8 thick-i just moved my 220 with a appliance dolly and then a furniture dolly.the only problem i had is that it tipped on the appliance dolly and i wrenched my elbow from stopping it from going all the way(next time i'll get help)once it was on the furniture dolly i could easily wheel it anywhere-again just watch out for tipping
