Acrylic planes are held in place by custom designed Suction Cup Lifters at both ends which are usually used for lifting and moving glass in construction, pulling dents, and handling sheet metal and plane surface materials. To create a vacuum which reliably seals the cups tightly to the surface, high-strength vacuum pads made of flexible synthetic materials are being utilized.
