Aardwolf Kitchen Installation Cart - Pro version - AKIC-PRO

Aardwolf Kitchen Installation Cart - Pro version - AKIC-PRO

Despite its high load capacity, the AAKIC remains remarkably lightweight, thanks to its reinforced, modular aluminum frame—making it easier to transport, position, and operate on-site. The Cart features integrated transfer bearings for smooth positioning and a powered lift system with three actuators for precise vertical and tilt adjustments, making it suitable for various installation scenarios.

Flat-free, shock-absorbing wheels, and crank-operated floor locks ensure stability and safety in a variety of working environments.

Significantly versatile, the cart can handle any countertop size up to 500 kgs (1102 lbs.), making it a universal tool for kitchen installations. Its ability to lower, lift, and roll large stone pieces directly onto kitchen cabinets simplifies the final placement process.

One of the standout features is the power lift capability, which adjusts stone height from 929 - 1229 mm (36.6 - 48.4 inches) above the ground. This feature is beneficial for aligning the stone with the cabinet rails and facilitates a controlled tilting process for a safer, more efficient installation.

Despite its robust functionality, the cart remains highly portable. Its durable aluminum frame weighs only 112 kg (247 lbs.), making it easy to transport and store.
