Suction Cups for Tile, Glass & Stone Handling
Suction cups are handling tools used to lift, carry, position, and align tile, glass, and stone materials during installation and transport. A suction cup creates a secure vacuum seal on smooth, non-porous surfaces, allowing installers to maintain control while moving heavy or oversized materials. These tools help improve accuracy, reduce strain, and support safer handling across residential and commercial applications.
This collection includes tile suction cups, glass suction cups, heavy duty suction cups, and specialty vacuum handling tools designed for smooth surface materials. Options range from manual pump suction cups to electric suction cups and multi-pad configurations that provide increased stability and load distribution.
Suction cups are commonly used when setting large-format tile, stone slabs, glass panels, and similar materials where precise placement and controlled handling are critical.
Types of Suction Cups
- Vacuum Suction Cups: Use manual or mechanical vacuum systems to create a strong hold
- Pump Suction Cups: Feature a pump plunger to build and maintain vacuum pressure
- Electric Suction Cups: Battery-powered vacuum generation for consistent suction
- Double & Triple Suction Cups: Multiple suction pads for increased stability and load distribution
- Combination Handling Tools: Integrate suction with alignment or positioning features
Selecting the Right Suction Cup
- Material Being Handled: Tile, glass, or polished stone
- Weight Capacity: Choose a suction cup rated for the material size and weight
- Grip Type: Manual, pump, or electric vacuum
- Number of Pads: Larger materials benefit from double or triple pad designs
Where Suction Cups are used
Suction cups are used for large-format tile installation, stone slab handling, glass placement, panel alignment, and material transport in residential and commercial environments.
Why use a Suction Cup
Using suction cups helps reduce physical strain, improve placement accuracy, and minimize the risk of surface damage. These tools support safer handling and better control when working with heavy or oversized materials.
