Two 4-½” Handi-Grip Hand Cups for Flat or Curved Surfaces

Wood's Powr-Grip LJ45HG2B — 4-1/2" Aluminum Handi-Grip Vacuum Hand Cups for Flat and Curved Surfaces (40 lbs / 18 kg per Cup) — Matched Pair of 2 with Carrying Case

The Wood's Powr-Grip LJ45HG2B is a matched pair of compact 4-1/2" aluminum Handi-Grip vacuum hand cups designed for versatile lifting and positioning of a wide variety of flat and curved smooth, nonporous items. Each cup features a 4-1/2" (11 cm) standard rubber suction pad (Model LJ45), an aluminum Handi-Grip handle, and an industrial-grade plastic plunger, with a rated load capacity of 40 lbs (18 kg) per cup. Rated for both flat and curved surfaces with a minimum radius of 12" (305 mm), and operable down to 0°F (-18°C). Sold as a matched pair of 2 (SKU: 91221, Model: LJ45HG2B) with a durable carrying case. Manufactured by Wood's Powr-Grip.

The LJ45HG2B is the matched-pair Handi-Grip configuration of the LJ45 pad family — the smaller 4-1/2" counterpart to the 6" LP6HG. The compact 4-1/2" pad size makes the LJ45HG2B well-suited for smaller panels, tiles, and curved items where the larger 6" pad would be too large for the available contact area. The Handi-Grip handle geometry provides ergonomic control for precise positioning across a wide range of material types and sizes, and the matched pair with carrying case is designed for two-person coordinated lifts or as a dedicated two-cup field kit.

Key Features & Benefits

Compact 4-1/2" LJ45 Pad — Suited for Smaller Panels and Tight Contact Areas

The 4-1/2" (11 cm) LJ45 pad is the smallest pad in the standard WPG hand cup lineup, making the LJ45HG2B the correct choice when the available smooth contact area on the workpiece is too small for a 6" or larger pad. This includes small glass panes, narrow tile strips, small curved glass sections, and any application where a larger pad would overlap the panel edge or an adjacent surface. Replacement LJ45 pads are available separately through Wood’s Powr-Grip authorized distributors.

Aluminum Handi-Grip Handle — Versatile Positioning Across Flat and Curved Items

The Handi-Grip handle geometry provides ergonomic control for comfortable, precise positioning of a wide variety of flat and curved items. The aluminum construction keeps the handle lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Unlike the offset fixed handle (which prevents load swing), the Handi-Grip is optimized for versatile positioning where the operator needs natural hand control across different material types, sizes, and orientations.

Flat and Curved Surface Compatibility — Min. 12" Radius

The LJ45HG2B is rated for both flat and curved smooth, nonporous surfaces with a minimum curved surface radius of 12" (305 mm) — covering windshields, curved glass, curved stone, and curved architectural elements within the 40 lb per cup capacity.

Matched Pair of 2 with Durable Carrying Case

The LJ45HG2B provides two matched cups in a single kit with a durable carrying case, keeping the pair together and protected during transport. The matched pair is designed for two-person coordinated lifts (one cup per operator) or as a dedicated two-cup field kit for installers who carry a matched set for small panel and tile work.

40 lb (18 kg) Per Cup — 80 lb Combined for Two-Cup Lifts

Each cup is rated for 40 lbs (18 kg), giving a combined capacity of 80 lbs (36 kg) for a coordinated two-cup lift. Always lift and lower simultaneously on a coordinated signal when using both cups on a single panel.

Extended Low-Temperature Rating (0°F / -18°C) — Patented Red-Line Indicators

Rated for operation down to 0°F (-18°C) for outdoor winter job sites and cold environments. Each cup features a patented red-line vacuum indicator that warns of any significant vacuum loss during the lift.

Common Applications

Small Glass Pane and Window Handling

Glaziers handling small glass panes, window lites, and narrow glass sections use the LJ45HG2B where the 4-1/2" pad fits the available contact area and the Handi-Grip provides precise positioning control during installation.

Tile and Small Stone Positioning

Tile setters and stone installers use the LJ45HG2B for small tile and stone pieces where the compact pad size fits within the tile face and the Handi-Grip handle provides ergonomic control for precise placement.

Curved Glass and Windshield Handling

The 12" minimum radius and flat+curved rating make the LJ45HG2B suitable for curved glass sections, small windshields, and curved architectural glass where the compact pad size is appropriate for the available contact area.

Two-Person Coordinated Lifts on Small Panels

The matched pair configuration supports two-person coordinated lifts on small panels where each operator holds one cup. The carrying case keeps both cups together as a matched field kit.

Compatible Materials

• Flat and curved plate glass and float glass (min. 12" radius)
• Tempered and laminated safety glass (flat and curved)
• Automotive windshields and curved glass (min. 12" radius)
• Glazed ceramic and polished porcelain tile (flat)
• Polished stone tile and panels (flat and curved)
• Smooth painted or coated metal panels (flat and curved)
• Any smooth, nonporous flat or curved surface with min. 12" (305 mm) radius and load ≤ 40 lbs per cup

Not compatible with: rough, textured, or porous surfaces; surfaces with radius tighter than 12" (305 mm); loads exceeding 40 lbs per cup; surfaces contaminated with oil, wax, or debris.

Technical Specifications

Safety Data Summary

• Always lift and lower simultaneously on a coordinated signal when using both cups on a single panel — uncoordinated lifting can overload one cup beyond its 40 lb rating
• Vacuum loss during a lift can result in sudden load drop, causing serious injury or property damage
• Do not exceed 40 lbs (18 kg) per cup
• Use on surfaces with radius tighter than 12" (305 mm) will prevent full pad seal
• Damaged or contaminated suction pads must be replaced before use
• In cold environments, verify pad flexibility above 0°F (-18°C) before use
• Do not use above 5,000 ft (1,500 m) elevation
• Safety glasses or face shield, cut-resistant gloves, and steel-toed footwear required

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the LJ45HG2B and the LP6HG?
A: Both use an aluminum Handi-Grip handle and industrial-grade plastic plunger. The LJ45HG2B uses the smaller 4-1/2" LJ45 pad (40 lb per cup, flat+curved, min. 12" radius) and is sold as a matched pair of 2 with a carrying case. The LP6HG uses the larger 6" LP6 pad (70 lb, flat only) and is sold as a Pack of 4 with vacuum pad protectors. Choose the LJ45HG2B for smaller contact areas, curved surfaces, and two-cup matched pair use; choose the LP6HG for larger flat panels requiring higher capacity.

Q: What is the combined lifting capacity of the two cups?
A: Each cup is rated for 40 lbs (18 kg), giving a combined capacity of 80 lbs (36 kg) for a coordinated two-cup lift. Always lift and lower simultaneously on a coordinated signal.

Q: Is the LJ45 pad interchangeable with other WPG models?
A: The LJ45 pad is specific to the LJ45 pad family. It is not interchangeable with the LP6, TL6, LJ6, or G0695/G0725/G0750 pads. Replacement LJ45 pads are available separately through Wood’s Powr-Grip authorized distributors.

Q: Is this product made to order?
A: Yes. This product is made to order and all sales are final. Please confirm your surface type, curvature radius, and load requirements before placing your order.
