When it comes to lifting, positioning or transporting glass, stone, metal or other smooth-surfaced materials, a strong and reliable suction cup is essential. Whether you’re handling double-glazed units on site, installing architectural cladding, moving kitchen countertops or working with curved or textured glass, the right suction tool can make all the difference to the speed, safety and success of the job.
At GGR Glass, we stock one of the UK’s most comprehensive ranges of suction cups trusted by glaziers, fabricators, and construction professionals. Our selection includes everything from compact lever-operated models for light work, to electric and battery-powered suction cups designed for high-volume or high-risk tasks. With options for curved, textured, or heat-sensitive surfaces, there's a tool suited to every material and environment.
High-Performance Suction Cups for Everyday Use
Among the most popular models in our collection is the Wood Powr Grip N4950 Suction Cup, a versatile hand-operated lifter capable of handling up to 57kg. It features a red-line vacuum indicator for added safety and is ideal for general glazing work. For more delicate surfaces, the Wood Powr Grip N4000LM Suction Cup offers the same capacity but uses a special rubber pad that minimises surface marking, making it a great choice for decorative or coated glass.
If you’re working with lightly textured materials, such as sandblasted or painted glass, models like the Wood Powr Grip N4000C and N4950C are designed with specially formulated pads to offer stronger grip on uneven surfaces. For curved or cylindrical items, options such as the N5450CS (Curved 9") Suction Cup and N6450 Large Curved Suction Cup provide excellent surface contact and secure vacuum retention on non-flat materials.
Powered Suction for Demanding Applications
For repetitive lifting or heavier materials, powered suction cups offer speed, consistency, and control. The Griplift 3W Electric Suction Cup is one of the most powerful models in our range, capable of lifting up to 170kg horizontally using a triple-pad setup. It features automatic vacuum generation, a battery pack and pressure monitoring, making it ideal for workshop and site-based lifting.
For more compact, mobile use, the Ottovac is a battery-powered suction cup that delivers up to 68kg of lifting capacity with a digital pressure gauge and automatic vacuum pump, providing a professional solution for portable glazing and fitting work.
Multi-Pad Lifters for Better Balance
To spread load evenly across a larger surface area, our dual and triple pad suction cups offer more stability and greater lifting capacity. The GGR2 Double Pad Suction Cup supports up to 60kg and is suitable for standard-sized glazing or rigid materials. For larger items, the GGR3 Triple Pad Suction Cup offers increased stability and a lift capacity of up to 80kg, making it ideal for larger domestic or commercial panels.
High-Heat Handling Solutions
Standard rubber pads can degrade under high temperatures, so for installations involving heat-formed glass or kiln-side lifting, we recommend using heat-resistant suction cups. The G-Man 11.3kg and G-Man 15.8kg models are made with heat-tolerant materials and feature compact handles for fast application. We also stock high-heat versions of our D-Cup lifters in 22.7kg and 34kg capacities, built for hot-glass environments.
Specialist Industrial Suction Cups
For applications involving rougher materials or oversized loads, we also supply industrial-grade suction tools. The Oktopus 70 and Oktopus 150 provide exceptional grip and resilience, while the HSC300 offers a heavy-duty vacuum lifter with an extra-strong pad for rough or uneven surfaces.
Whatever surface, size or material you’re working with, GGR Glass offers a suction cup to match. Our product range supports everyone from solo installers and local glazing teams to industrial and commercial contractors working on large-scale projects. If you’re unsure which model is right for your task, our technical team can help you choose based on your material, load size, and environment.
