The Aardwolf Slab Lifter AL60A is an automatic vertical lifting clamp designed for safe and efficient handling of stone slabs from 15 to 60 mm thick. Suitable for granite, marble and other stone materials, the AL60A can be used with cranes and forklift booms for lifting, transporting and positioning slabs in fabrication workshops, warehouses and construction environments.
Its gravity-controlled automatic locking mechanism securely grips the slab during lifting and releases it after placement, helping reduce manual handling and improve workflow efficiency. Integrated edge rollers allow smooth movement along the upper edge of the slab for easier positioning and accurate centering.
Rubber-lined clamp plates provide secure contact while helping protect finished stone surfaces from scratches and damage. With a working load limit of 1,200 kg and a slim, compact design, the AL60A is particularly suitable for handling closely stored slabs in racks and containers.
