Glass suction cups, hydraulic lift tables, tank moving gear

@Cpage101 @Cooper2 i’ve never done this before, would u recommend 4 or 6 for a 48” x 27” x 26” 360 gallon tank?
The gorilla cart sounds great, i can borrow that as well.

if it is 3/4” glass you are looking at 376 lbs. the more the better

I’m thinking he means 360lbs tank as those dimensions work out to be like a 145 gallon tank.

ya I was questions the dimensions I would expect at least 6’ tank for 300g with lagers width

honestly the suction cups are really strong, the main issue is how much you want each human supporting. Best to plan for less than 75lbs per human for any significant distance I'd say.

I think easier dimensions or your gallons are wrong.

Hi, do you know what weight capacity your are? I need to move a 4’x2’x2’ tank.

Spaceman could I take you up on your offer to borrow your suction cups?

I don't know what they are rated at but I've moved 6' foot tanks and never had an issue or slippage. I have 4 of them and they'll be in use tomorrow morning but available in the afternoon. I'm in Foxboro half a mile off Rt 95, so easy to find.

Hi all, here’s the screenshot from Redsea on the weight of the tank. I wasnt super exact on the dimension, but here it is:
Specifications:

• Display Tank Dimensions - 47.3"L x 26.8"W x 25.6"H
• Display Tank Volume - 118.4 Gallons
• Total System Height - 60.2"
• Total System Volume - 145.1 Gallons
• Front Glass Thickness - 3/4"
• Side Glass Thickness - 3/4"
• Bottom Glass Thickness - 3/4"

So sounds like getting 6 suctions cups probably safer?

@Cpage101 so i’ll take your offer for the suction cup, i work from home in Bedford, so maybe we can work out when i can pick it up sometimes next week?
