Hercules 8-Inch Vacuum Suction Cup

The Hercules Vacuum Suction Cup is designed for lifting, positioning and maneuvering granite, quartz, marble, glass, porcelain and other smooth, nonporous materials. Its integrated hand pump creates the vacuum seal, while the vacuum indicator helps the operator monitor holding power during use.

The 8-1/4-inch flat vacuum pad has a maximum lifting capacity of 176 pounds. A lightweight, heavy-duty handle provides control during material handling, and the quick-release valve allows the suction cup to be removed after the material has been positioned.
