What our Experts Think    

• Heavy-duty slab storage and transport frame, the Aardwolf SAF02-S is designed for safely supporting and organizing natural stone, granite, marble, quartz, and engineered stone slabs in workshops and yards.
• High structural stability steel construction, built as a paired A-frame system with cross members and fasteners to ensure rigid, balanced slab support during storage and handling.
• Strong industrial load capacity (up to ~12,000 kg WLL) makes it suitable for heavy commercial stone operations where multiple full-size slabs are stored on each side.
• Full-height slab support design (approx. 1500 mm height) allows vertical storage of full slabs, maximizing floor space efficiency in fabrication environments.
• Double-sided storage configuration, enabling slabs to be stored securely on both sides for improved yard organization and higher storage density.
• Protective powder-coated finish with drainage holes, helping reduce corrosion and extend service life in outdoor or high-moisture environments.
• Forklift and crane-friendly design (via base structure compatibility) supports efficient loading, unloading, and relocation of fully loaded frames in busy material yards.
• Optional timber glut compatibility, allowing additional cushioning and slab protection depending on handling requirements.

               
Q&A  

Q: What materials can the Aardwolf Broad Trolley ABT01 handle?
A: It is suitable for stone slabs, glass sheets, timber panels, door frames, and other large flat or framed construction materials.

Q: Is the ABT01 suitable for narrow workshop spaces?
A: Yes. Its compact footprint and swivel front casters make it easy to maneuver through tight fabrication areas and corridors.

Q: Does the ABT01 require assembly?
A: Minimal assembly is typically required before first use, mainly attaching wheels and checking fasteners for secure operation.

Q: How does the ABT01 improve safety in handling?
A: It reduces manual lifting by allowing materials to be transported at a stable angle with full support, lowering the risk of strain and breakage.

Q: Are the support surfaces on the ABT01 replaceable?
A: Yes. The rubber protection pads can be replaced when worn to maintain surface protection and grip performance.

Q: Can the ABT01 be used outdoors?
A: Yes, but it performs best on level surfaces. Regular cleaning is recommended if used in dusty or wet environments.

Q: What makes the ABT01 different from standard trolleys?
A: It is specifically engineered for fragile, heavy, and oversized materials, with reinforced structure and full rubber protection for safer handling.

Q: How should the ABT01 be maintained?
A: Keep wheels clean, check bolts regularly, and inspect rubber padding for wear to ensure smooth movement and material protection.

Q: What industries commonly use the ABT01?
A: It is widely used in stone fabrication, construction, glazing, carpentry, and joinery workshops.

Q: What is the main benefit of using the ABT01?
A: It increases efficiency and safety by enabling one-person or two-person transport of bulky materials with controlled movement and reduced damage risk.

                 
Maintenance Tips

• Inspect frame, uprights, and welds regularly for cracks, bending, or structural fatigue.
• Check cross braces, base supports, and joints to ensure all bolts and fasteners are tight and secure.
• Ensure rubber padding/contact strips are clean, intact, and replace when worn to protect stone surfaces.
• Keep frame free from stone dust, slurry, and debris to prevent corrosion and slipping hazards.
• Verify stability on level ground before loading slabs or stone materials.
• Never exceed the rated load capacity (model-dependent, heavy-duty slab storage use) and distribute slabs evenly on both sides.
• Inspect alignment after transport, impact, or heavy loading to ensure safe vertical support.
• Lubricate any adjustable or removable fittings lightly where applicable, avoiding contact with stone surfaces.
• Store in a dry, covered area to prevent rust and extend service life.
• Remove from service immediately if structural deformation, weld failure, or instability is detected.
