2 or 4 suction lifter

[john b]

Wondering if a 2 pad lifter will be adequate for lifting on and off cnc. Will it lift an L - PIECE say 110 x65 x 25 deep or is a 4 pad needed instead. If anyone is using a 2 pad would like to hear from you. Want to make sure i purchase the correct lifter. Thanks

I wouldn't use a two. 4 or more.

Use sink saver bars on sink pieces.

[Todd Luster]

I agree with Chris, there are definitely more times you will need 4 pads more than 2.

[Dan R.]

4 pads, for sure.

I got a woods 10 cup and an 8 cup. Both are great. BUT. I would get a manzeli 4 cup if I had a choice now. Their adjustable and a lot better for pulling l,s like your talking about.

Or use a Omni cube sink saver on the short side of the L to stabalize it.

You would regret a 2 cup IMO

Always used Manzelli 4 pad. Big and small. Adjustable. Can't be beat IMO.

Manzelli 4 pad. You can use just 2 for alot of tops but the other 2 are ther when you need them.

i use a 8 cup Woods ...better to have and not need than to break something,,get a sink saver also

That is cool Chris. Thanks for mentioning that. I have spoke with many fabricators that use our Sink Hole Saver to help lift off of CNC's and every one says it works great especially of very fragile pieces.

[Danno]

sink hole savers by omni are the greatest. In my shop no sink peice moves off the cnc without it. Just need to break 1 peice and the cost of the saver pays for itself. I learned this the hard way.

If cost is the concern (for the 2 or 4 pad version) call your GQ rep. Gq now has an Exential line from Manzelli.
