OVERALL CUSTOMER RATING

Company Profile 

Wood’s Powr-Grip was founded in 1946 when Howard Wood opened an automotive, electric and small engine repair shop in Wolf Point, Montana. Wood’s Auto Electric grew into Wood’s Powr-Grip, a global leader in vacuum lifting tools and equipment. The company is now located in Laurel, Montana, where it continues to innovate in several industries.

Wood's Powr-Grip vacuum cups help you move glass panels, hard-to-handle appliances and other awkward loads, while protecting both the material and the operator from damage. Wood's patented red-line indicator shows when a vacuum cup is securely attached to the material and alerts you if the vacuum level decreases.

Industry Leader 

Wood’s product lines include hand-held vacuum suction cups, below-the-hook vacuum lifters and vacuum mounting cups, all of which have become standard tools in the glass industry. Whether your application requires standard or custom designs, let us put our expertise to work for you! Our quality customer service and products have established us as an industry leader.
