Frequently asked questions
Common questions about WOOD'S POWR-GRIP from 3G Electric.
What is the maximum load capacity of WOOD'S POWR-GRIP handheld manual suction-cup lifters?
WOOD'S POWR-GRIP handheld manual suction-cup lifters are available with maximum load capacities ranging from 3 lb to 175 lb. For example, SKU 2MDE3 has a 3 lb capacity, SKU 6A988 has a 175 lb capacity, and models such as 6A987, 6A986, and 6A984 fall within this range. The capacity depends on the cup type, handle configuration, and release mechanism. Always verify the specific model's rating before use.
What is the difference between flat and concave cups on WOOD'S POWR-GRIP suction-cup lifters?
Flat cups are designed for flat, non-porous surfaces such as glass, metal sheets, and plastic panels. Concave cups are intended for curved or irregular surfaces. The choice depends on the workpiece geometry. For example, SKU 6A987 uses a flat cup, while SKU 2MDE6 uses a concave cup. Both types are available with different handle orientations and release mechanisms.
What release mechanisms are available on WOOD'S POWR-GRIP handheld suction-cup lifters?
WOOD'S POWR-GRIP handheld manual suction-cup lifters are offered with either a release valve or a pull-tab release mechanism. The release valve allows controlled release of the vacuum, while the pull tab provides a quick-release action. Models such as SKU 6A987 and 6A988 feature a release valve, while SKU 2MDE6 and 6A984 use a pull tab. The choice depends on the operator's preference and the application.
Can WOOD'S POWR-GRIP suction-cup lifters be used on vertical surfaces?
WOOD'S POWR-GRIP handheld manual suction-cup lifters are designed for lifting and positioning non-porous materials. The handle orientation (vertical or horizontal) affects how the lifter is gripped and the direction of lift. For vertical surfaces, a horizontal handle may provide better leverage. However, the suction cup must be able to form a seal on the surface. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe operation.

3G Electric supplies WOOD'S POWR-GRIP handheld manual suction-cup lifters and related replacement parts. Replacement suction cups are available for models with flat or concave cups.
