The new Aardwolf Slab Lifter Automatic AL60A has an integrated auto-lock, unlock mechanism (patent pending), which allows the clamp to automatically grip slabs on pick-up and release the slabs on set down. In many situations, this makes moving and handling of slabs safer and more convenient.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeatures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: Being of compact construction, the Aardwolf Slab Lifter Automatic AL60A allows for close packed stone slabs to be lifted out of racks and containers.
