What our Experts Think
-
Professional-grade slab lifting solution, the Aardwolf AL60R Slab Lifter with Rollers is designed for safe, efficient handling of granite, marble, quartz, and engineered stone slabs in fabrication and installation environments.
-
Wide grip range (15–60 mm / 5/8”–2 3/8”) makes it ideal for standard countertop and wall-cladding thicknesses used in everyday stonework.
-
High working load limit up to 1200 kg (2646 lbs) supports heavy commercial slabs while maintaining a strong safety factor for controlled lifting operations.
-
Integrated roller system on top edge protects slab edges and allows smoother positioning and manual centering during lifting and placement.
-
Automatic spring-loaded locking mechanism enables one-person operation by gripping during lift and releasing automatically when the slab is fully lowered.
-
Front-clamp geometry with compact design allows slabs to be lifted from tightly packed racks and positioned close to walls, improving workflow efficiency in confined spaces.
-
Rubber-lined jaws and aluminum construction help reduce edge chipping while keeping the tool lightweight and durable for daily workshop use.
Q&A
Q: What is the Aardwolf Slab Lifter 60 with Rollers (AL60R) used for?
A: The AL60R is designed for lifting and transporting granite, marble, quartz, and engineered stone slabs safely in fabrication shops, storage yards, and construction sites.
Q: How does the AL60R operate?
A: It uses a spring-loaded locking latch that automatically grips the slab during lifting and releases it when the slab is fully lowered, enabling efficient one-person handling.
Q: What is the grip range of the AL60R?
A: The clamp handles slab thicknesses from 15–60 mm (5/8"–2 3/8").
Q: What is the load capacity of the AL60R?
A: It has a working load limit of up to 1200 kg (2646 lbs).
Q: What is the purpose of the rollers?
A: The integrated side rollers protect slab edges and help with smoother centering and positioning during engagement.
Q: What are the key safety benefits of the AL60R?
A: It requires minimal slab movement to engage, reducing operator risk and ensuring stable lifting below the over-balance angle.
Q: What materials can it handle?
A: It is suitable for natural and engineered stone slabs commonly used in construction and countertop fabrication.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect roller wheels before each use for cracks, flat spots, wear, or trapped stone debris.
- Ensure rollers spin freely and are correctly aligned for smooth slab movement.
- Clean rollers, jaws, and frame after every use to remove dust, slurry, and grit buildup.
- Check gripping pads/contact surfaces for wear and replace if grip performance is reduced.
- Lubricate all pivot points and moving joints regularly with light machine oil (avoid rollers).
- Verify all pins, bolts, and locking mechanisms are secure and fully engaged before lifting.
- Never exceed the rated 60 mm slab thickness capacity (approx.) and WLL limits.
- Inspect lifting arms and structural frame for cracks, bending, or deformation.
- Store in a dry, covered location to prevent corrosion and extend service life.
- Remove from service immediately if roller failure, slippage, or structural damage is detected
