FAQs

Size & Specs

Q: How strong are the vacuum mounts?
A: “Strong like bull.” 4.5” vacuum mounts have a rated pull strength of 120lbs, pulling straight out from center. Pull strength on a shear load, i.e. pulling from the side, will be less. 6” vacuum mounts are 210lbs rated. Obviously, putting multiple vacuum mounts on a single product multiplies the maximum holding power.

Q: How long do the vacuum mounts last before they lose power?
A: There’s no set time limit on our vacuum mounts. It depends in part on the surface you attach to, the condition of the vacuum mount, the load you put on it, and other factors. As for surfaces to attach to, vacuum mounts in general were designed to carry big sheets of glass and other solid surface materials, so smoother, flatter surfaces are ideal. Clean surfaces and clean SeaSuckers go a long way to maximizing the hold time. In any event, if the vacuum mount begins to lose some vacuum, it will warn you so you can get it back to full power before it comes off. The vacuum pump’s plunger will extend from the pump cylinder when it starts to lose power, revealing an orange indicator band. Once you see orange, that’s your cue to repump your SeaSucker. For car racks, the simplest thing to do is to check the rack before you get in your vehicle, and check it each time you stop for gas, food, or the bathroom.

Q: Do I need to clean the surface I’m going to attach my SeaSucker to?
A: Clean off any surface dirt from the mounting surface before attaching your SeaSucker. While you’re at it, make sure the sealing edge of the vacuum pad is clean too. You don’t have to clean the mounting surface with alcohol wipes, as one overly-enthusiastic customer told us they do, but a quick wipe with a wet paper towel or napkin wouldn’t hurt. Let us make it easy for you: get one of our Cleaning Kits.

Strategic part in my hybrid bike rack
I have an Aliner Ranger 10 A-frame folding camper. There are very few viable options for mounting a bike. I installed a ProRac bike carrier. A horizontal bar is secured to the trailer’s chassis a-frame with two vertical posts to hold my bike’s front fork. The back wheel rests on the roof of the Aliner’s front dormer. I added a 24x24x1/4” acrylic sheet to distribute the bike’s weight. I employ the Seasucker rear wheel mount. It’s the perfect solution to keep the rear wheel locked in place.

Works great!
I love these wheel straps, they really hold the back end of the bike down and stay secure on high speeds for 12 hours. I rent a lot of cars and travel with my bikes and these are small and easy to carry around.

Engineer Usage
It was a wonderful tool to happen across, albeit we don't use it for bicycles (it would be nice to have an option for a strap that had something other than the ridge formed for the wheel base). We use it to transfer 10ft straight edges (metal 2x4's) with various vehicle configurations.

Starlink pole support
They are working great, so far. I am using two rear wheel straps to attach a sturdy telescoping flagpole to the side of our motorhome. The pole has an attachment on top to mount an RV Starlink. This configuration allows us to use Starlink wherever we camp in our coach.
We have had quite a few people from other campsites checking it out as a solution for their remote internet access.
