6" Handi-Grip Hand Cup for Flat Surfaces - Pack of 4

Wood's Powr-Grip LP6HG — 6" Aluminum Handi-Grip Handle Vacuum Hand Cup for Flat Surfaces (70 lbs / 32 kg) — Pack of 4

The Wood's Powr-Grip LP6HG is a versatile, lightweight vacuum hand cup featuring an aluminum Handi-Grip handle designed for easy, comfortable positioning of a wide variety of flat smooth, nonporous materials — including windshields, stone tiles, and sheet materials. Featuring a 6" (15 cm) standard rubber suction pad (Model LP6) and an industrial-grade plastic plunger, the LP6HG is rated for loads up to 70 lbs (32 kg) on flat surfaces and is operable down to 0°F (-18°C). Sold as a Pack of 4 (SKU: 91335, Model: LP6HG), the kit provides redundant tooling for multi-cup lifts and high-volume operations. Manufactured by Wood's Powr-Grip.

The LP6HG is the Handi-Grip counterpart to the LP6RH (Rigid Handle) in the LP6 pad family — both use the same LP6 pad, aluminum handle, plastic plunger, 70 lb capacity, 0°F rating, and flat-only surface rating. The handle geometry is the key differentiator: the LP6RH uses an offset fixed handle specifically designed to prevent load swing and rotation, while the LP6HG uses the Handi-Grip handle geometry optimized for comfortable, versatile positioning across a wide range of materials and applications. Choose the LP6HG for general-purpose flat-surface handling where ergonomic grip and material versatility are priorities; choose the LP6RH when controlled load orientation (preventing swing) is the primary requirement.

Key Features & Benefits

Aluminum Handi-Grip Handle — Versatile Positioning Across a Wide Range of Materials

The LP6HG’s Handi-Grip handle is designed for comfortable, ergonomic control during the positioning of a wide variety of flat materials — from windshields and automotive glass to stone tiles and sheet materials. The Handi-Grip geometry provides a natural hand position for precise placement work, making the LP6HG a practical everyday tool for glaziers, auto glass technicians, tile setters, and general installers who handle a diverse range of flat materials throughout the workday. The aluminum construction keeps the handle lightweight and corrosion-resistant in wet and outdoor environments.

Windshield, Stone Tile, and Sheet Material Handling

The LP6HG is specifically noted for its versatility across three distinct material categories: windshields and automotive glass, stone tiles and decorative stone, and general sheet materials. This breadth of application makes the LP6HG a practical choice for multi-trade operations and contractors who work across material types and need a single reliable flat-surface cup that performs across all of them.

LP6 Standard Rubber Suction Pad — 6" Flat Surface Attachment

The 6" (15 cm) LP6 pad provides reliable vacuum attachment on flat, smooth, nonporous surfaces. The LP6 is a distinct pad model from the TL6 (used on the TL6 family) and the LJ6 (used on the LJ6VH family) — replacement pads must be specified as LP6 when ordering. The LP6 pad is shared with the LP6RH, making replacement pads interchangeable between the LP6HG and LP6RH. Replacement LP6 pads are available separately through Wood’s Powr-Grip authorized distributors.

Aluminum Handle with Industrial-Grade Plastic Plunger

The aluminum handle provides a lightweight yet rigid grip for controlled flat-surface lifting, while the industrial-grade plastic plunger delivers rust-resistant vacuum engagement. The aluminum construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments, making the LP6HG suitable for glazing, tile installation, auto glass work, and outdoor construction environments where moisture exposure is common.

70 lb (32 kg) Rated Load Capacity

The LP6HG is rated for loads up to 70 lbs (32 kg) on flat, smooth, nonporous surfaces — covering the majority of windshields, standard glass panels, tile, and stone pieces encountered in everyday installation work. The pack-of-4 configuration supports multi-cup coordinated lifts for panels exceeding the single-cup rating.

Extended Low-Temperature Rating (0°F / -18°C)

The LP6HG is rated for operation down to 0°F (-18°C), making it suitable for outdoor winter job sites, cold storage environments, and any application where standard 10°F-rated cups may experience reduced rubber performance. This cold rating is shared with the LP6RH and the TL6 family.

Red-Line Vacuum Loss Indicator — Vacuum Pad Protector Included — Pack of 4

The built-in red-line indicator provides a continuous visual warning if vacuum pressure drops significantly during a lift. Each LP6HG ships with a vacuum pad protector to keep the LP6 pad clean and protected during storage and transport. The pack-of-4 configuration provides redundant tooling for multi-cup lifts and ensures replacement cups are on hand when a pad requires service.

Common Applications

Windshield and Automotive Glass Handling

Auto glass technicians use the LP6HG to position windshields, side glass, and rear windows during installation and replacement. The Handi-Grip handle provides comfortable control during the precise placement work required for automotive glass installation, and the 0°F cold rating ensures reliable performance in outdoor and cold-weather auto glass operations.

Stone Tile and Decorative Stone Positioning

Tile setters and stone installers use the LP6HG to lift and position stone tiles, decorative stone pieces, and polished stone inserts where the Handi-Grip handle provides ergonomic control during precise placement. The 70 lb capacity covers most standard stone tile sizes, and the pack-of-4 configuration provides multiple cups for crew use throughout the workday.

Sheet Material Handling

Fabricators and installers handling flat sheet materials — including glass sheet, acrylic sheet, polycarbonate, and smooth metal panels — use the LP6HG for its combination of 70 lb capacity, lightweight aluminum handle, and versatile Handi-Grip geometry suited for a range of sheet material sizes and weights.

Multi-Trade and General Contractor Use

General contractors and multi-trade installers who handle a diverse range of flat materials across different job sites use the LP6HG for its versatility across windshields, stone, and sheet materials. The pack-of-4 configuration ensures multiple cups are available for crew use, and the 0°F cold rating covers outdoor winter operations.

Cold Weather and Outdoor Job Sites

The 0°F cold rating makes the LP6HG suitable for outdoor winter construction, cold storage facility work, and any outdoor application where standard 10°F-rated cups may not perform reliably. The aluminum handle resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments.

Multi-Cup Coordinated Lifts

The pack-of-4 configuration supports multi-cup coordinated lifts for panels or objects exceeding the 70 lb single-cup rating. Multiple LP6HG cups can be positioned across a flat panel surface for balanced two- or four-point lifting.

Application Instructions

Step 1: Surface and Material Assessment

1. Confirm the surface is smooth, flat, and nonporous — do not proceed on rough, textured, porous, or curved surfaces.
2. Clean the pad contact area — remove dust, oil, moisture, and debris.
3. Verify the panel or object weight does not exceed 70 lbs (32 kg) per cup.

Step 2: Pad Inspection and Preparation

1. Inspect the LP6 suction pad for cuts, cracks, hardening, or contamination. Replace if damaged.
2. Wipe the pad face clean before each lift.
3. In cold environments, verify pad flexibility above 0°F (-18°C) before use.

Step 3: Attaching the Cup

1. Position the pad flat against the surface with full perimeter contact across the 6" diameter.
2. Engage the vacuum mechanism using the aluminum Handi-Grip handle/plunger until firm resistance is felt.
3. Check the red-line vacuum indicator — confirm it shows a stable, full vacuum before lifting.
4. Apply a controlled test load (firm downward pull) to verify seal integrity before committing to the full lift.

Step 4: Lifting, Positioning, and Release

1. Lift and position using the Handi-Grip handle — the ergonomic grip geometry supports precise placement control across a range of material types and sizes.
2. Monitor the red-line indicator continuously throughout the lift and during positioning.
3. Do not exceed the 70 lb (32 kg) rated load capacity per cup.
4. Lower the load fully to a stable surface before releasing the vacuum.
5. Engage the release mechanism slowly and in a controlled manner.
6. Clean the pad after use and store with the vacuum pad protector.
