A. Bottini Small Suction Cup – 3 in., 25 lb. Capacity
A. Bottini Small Suction Cup – 3 in., 25 lb. Capacity
The A. Bottini Small Suction Cup is a 3 in. hand suction cup used to lift and position tile and cut pieces, with an approximate lifting capacity of 25 lb. (11 kg) per BOE.
A rated capacity is an approximate figure on a clean, flat, non-porous surface. It is not a slab-handling lifter and it is not rated for overhead or two-man slab work — for that, use a purpose-built vacuum lifter. The other size stocked is the 5 in. A. Bottini Plastic Suction Cup, rated at 40 lb. (18 kg).

Frequently Asked Questions
How much will it lift?
BOE publishes an approximate lifting capacity of 25 lb. (11 kg).
What size is the cup?
The suction cup is 3 in.
Can I lift a slab with it?
No. This is a hand cup for small handling. Slab work needs a purpose-built vacuum lifter with a rated, tested seal.
What affects the grip?
A suction cup holds on a clean, flat, non-porous surface. Dust, texture, porosity and moisture all reduce the seal, which is why the published capacity is an approximation.
