OverviewThe Aardwolf AL60A slab lifter is engineered for safe handling of stone slabs (granite, marble and similar materials) in confined and standard lifting operations. Its slim clamp profile enables placement close to walls and between tightly nested slabs. The automatic gravity-controlled locking pin secures slabs during lift and releases automatically on placement. The lifter is compatible with cranes and forklifts and uses rubber-lined clamp plates and edge rollers to minimise surface and edge damage.
