How're these suction cups for moving?

[IOnceWasLegend]

Since I'm too far to borrow a lot of club equipment regularly, I'm trying to be a bit more self-sufficient with band saw, PAR meter, and now suction cups for my upcoming tank install.

Would these be sufficient for moving a 72 x 30 x 22 tank? I'm about 99% sure the answer is 'yes', but I'm paranoid. https://www.amazon.com/DAMO-Vacuum-Suction-Granite-Lifting/dp/B005EE2GCM/?th=1

I’d just use the clubs since it’s a one time use

2.5 hour drive = pain in the butt if we're not already planning on being down.

Plus this way I can basically be BAR North if anyone needs to borrow stuff.

Fair enough. I guess it’s likely a 2 time use anyway. Let’s not think about that second time too much for now tho.

That's why I don't borrow anything.

Those are the ones I own that you’ve used before.

Your tank is 670lbs

This suction cup: Load capacity: 150 lbs. per cup.

I used these (yellow suction cups $21 for 2) yesterday to offload tank from crate onto dollies. Of course that was only few inches off the ground and horizontally moved 3 feet, but description list 200lbs maximum.

I see the cups are mainly control. Won't rely completely on them. One hand on cup, other under tank.

I own these. I’d recommend going for these 10” instead. Also cost less. For your tank size I’d recommend at least 4 of them.

Cresco rentals (maybe united rentals as well and in Rocklin) is another option. Not sure how much the amazon link cups are though (I dont click amazon links on my work machine)? Not sure which is more cost effective?

Sorry, mine are the 10 inch version. I didn’t catch that until saltyreefer mentioned it.

I bought 4 that we used to move my reefer 850. You’re welcome to borrow them. They’re just sitting in a shelf doing nothing

If you don't mind, that'd be awesome. Any chance you'll be around this coming Sunday?

I’ll be around in the afternoon. But I can leave them outside for you. Just give me a text and we’ll figure it out
