Aardwolf Billet Lifter - BL59

• A gravity hoisting device is used to control the opening and closing of the clamp
• The clamp has one movable jaw, which is lined with rubber 
• The clamp uses the weight of the load to generate a closing force and the friction generated by the clamping force to clamp the slabs

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect suction pads before each use for cuts, cracks, wear, or contamination that could affect vacuum performance.
• Keep all vacuum pads, filters, and sealing surfaces clean and free from dust, oil, and debris to maintain maximum lifting capacity.
• Test both independent vacuum circuits and verify audio/visual warning systems are functioning properly before operation.
• Monitor battery charge levels and fully recharge batteries after use to ensure reliable lifting performance.
• Regularly inspect hoses, fittings, and vacuum lines for leaks, damage, or loose connections.
• Check extension arms, rotation mechanisms, and tilting components for smooth operation and signs of wear.
• Lubricate moving joints and pivot points according to manufacturer recommendations to reduce wear.
• Never exceed the rated working load limit of 500 kg horizontal or 400 kg vertical lifting.
• Inspect electrical wiring, battery terminals, and charging equipment for corrosion or damage before use.
• Store the lifter indoors in a clean, dry environment and protect suction pads from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Perform routine safety inspections on lifting points, frame components, and vacuum systems, replacing worn parts immediately.
• Verify automatic vacuum pumping functionality before handling glass or other non-porous materials.
