Glass suction cup rental?

[AB1002]

Hi All -

Is there anywhere in the Memphis/Southaven/Olive Branch area that rents heavy duty suction cups ... that you would trust to move a 125 gallon aquarium?

Thanks

I just got some from Sunbelit rental not sure if you got them there in or not. They were 8 inch and could carry up to a 1000lbs. If you dont you can try home depot rental section if you got one or a lowe's rental section. They were 10 bucks each for the day so I had $40 in them. We used them on my 150 gallon with out a problem and they helped a TON. I would never move a bigger tank with out them again.

For those in the Memphis area that might need to rent suction cups to move a tank ...
Dixie Rental has confirmed they have them in stock. A pair for $15 per 24 hours.
These are two 4.25" cups per device. Unsure what weight they are rated for. Will check that out before I pick them up.

Also Harbor Freight on Summer sales them, rated at 125lbs per device for the duel cup and 110lbs for the single cup.

I just bought 4 of the Harbor Freight cups for $8 each, really impressed...HOWEVER, they do not give you a warmfuzzy like commercial grade cups do, so use CAUTION and test how solid they are set on the tank... I mainly bought these for just positioning the tank setup (multiple adjustment for locations, plumbing setup, sump setup, etc.) Major moves involving stairs and stuff, I'd go commercial cups...

I borrowed a set from Tull Brothers glass in Collierville several years ago.
They just kept my Drivers license till I returned them.
That was several years ago and a different time but it cant hurt to ask them for Free

I appreciate the feedback on the Harbor Freight cups... I was/am having some reservations about them, but I could still see them being useful for minor adjustments.

Thanks for the Tull Brothers recommendation, I'll reach out and see if they are still as generous.
