TIL my old method for handling big tempered glass sheets was a huge risk

Honestly, I used to think suction cups were just for moving small panes until a foreman in Tampa showed me how a proper two-man lift with a 36-inch cup on each side completely changed the game for a 96-by-48-inch door last week, so what's your go-to method for moving heavy tempered?

Wait, you were moving that huge door without suction cups before? I mean, that's just asking for a disaster. Tempered glass can just go off like a bomb if you put pressure on the wrong spot. I get nervous with anything over a shower door without the right gear. The idea of trying to manhandle a piece that big makes my hands sweat just thinking about it.

lol yeah "go off like a bomb" is exactly right, I've seen it happen and it's terrifying.
