Deborah,
We have a pair of hand grips that we use to handle plate glass and plexiglas
panels and they work great.  They are from Woods Powr Grip, 229 Cascade,
Wolf Point, Montana 59201.  I just checked & they have a website at
www.powrgrip.com.

Subject: suction devices for lifting


Dear Listmembers,
    Can anyone advise me where to buy a pair of industrial-strength suction
handles for
lifting the very heavy lucite lid of a large exhibit case. I'd estimate this
lid weighs
about 70-80 pounds. It takes at least four of us to control it (we have to
lift it over
our heads given the back wall of the case) without any tools to help.
Yesterday, two of us
nearly had finger injuries, so we definitely want to find a better solution
for holding
onto it. Thanks.

Deborah
