Aardwolf Scissor Lifter - ASL200

Aardwolf Scissor Lifter  - ASL200

The ASL 200 is the perfect middle-range scissor lifting clamp, ideal for fabrication shops, slab yards, and the moving of heavy material. They are equipped with rubber pads for contact points, which ensure the safe handling of materials. By means of a gravity-controlled locking latch, the ASL 200 automatically grips and releases the material.

Suitable for lifting marble and granite slabs, tomb stones, concrete barriers, curbs (kerbs) and median walls.

Features                    

• Auto locks and unlocks.
• Vulcanized rubber pads.
• Protective rubber lined bar prevents chipping of material

What our Experts Think

• Purpose-built for safe vertical lifting of stone and concrete materials, the Aardwolf ASL200 Scissor Lifter is widely used in fabrication yards, construction sites, and landscaping projects.
• Automatic gravity-controlled locking system ensures the clamp self-grips during lifting and releases when set down, reducing manual handling and improving safety.
• Wide grip range (50–200 mm / 2–8") makes it suitable for marble, granite slabs, tombstones, kerbs, and concrete barriers.
• High working load capacity (up to ~1000–1500 kg depending on specification source) supports heavy-duty industrial lifting tasks with confidence.
• Replaceable high-friction rubber/polyurethane pads provide secure grip while protecting materials from chipping, scratching, or edge damage.
• Heavy-duty steel construction with protective coating ensures durability and long service life in harsh job-site conditions.
• Built-in safety features like rubber-lined contact bars and load centering guidance help maintain stability during lifting and positioning.

Q&A

Q: What is the Aardwolf Scissor Lifter ASL200 used for?
A: The ASL200 is designed for safe vertical lifting and handling of heavy materials such as granite, marble slabs, concrete blocks, curbs, and stone products in fabrication and construction environments.

Q: How does the ASL200 grip and release materials?
A: It uses a gravity-controlled auto-locking system that automatically grips during lifting and releases when the load is set down, reducing manual handling.

Q: What is the working load capacity of the ASL200?
A: The lifting capacity is up to 1000–1500 kg (varies by configuration/standard), making it suitable for heavy-duty stone handling tasks.

Q: What is the grip range of the ASL200?
A: It supports material thicknesses from 50 mm to 200 mm (approximately 2"–8").

Q: How does the ASL200 protect materials during lifting?
A: It uses high-friction replaceable rubber or polyurethane pads and a rubber-lined bar to prevent chipping, scratching, or surface damage.

Q: What industries commonly use the ASL200?
A: It is widely used in stone fabrication shops, construction sites, landscaping, and slab handling yards for efficient and safe material movement.

Q: What are key safety features of the ASL200?
A: It includes an automatic locking mechanism, side load stabilizers, and a central lifting hook for secure crane or hoist operation.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect hydraulic system regularly for oil leaks, pressure loss, or damaged hoses.
• Check scissor arms, welds, and pivot points for cracks, wear, or deformation before each use.
• Keep lifting platform clean and free of stone dust, slurry, and debris to ensure smooth operation.
• Lubricate all pivot joints, pins, and moving parts periodically to reduce friction and wear.
• Verify safety locks and height-stop mechanisms are fully functional before lifting loads.
• Never exceed the rated 200 kg (approx.) load capacity and distribute weight evenly on the platform.
• Inspect wheels, brakes, and base stability components for proper function and tightness.
• Store in a dry, protected area and lower platform fully when not in use to release hydraulic pressure.
