Aardwolf Swiftlift - ASVL-380

Aardwolf Swiftlift - ASVL-380

The operator is able to pick up workpieces from a horizontal position and easily change the load to a vertical position and place the workpiece onto a transport frame.

Powered by a clip-in 12V battery with energy-saving system allows you to work without recharging throughout the day. Clip-in battery can be replaced in a matter of seconds.

Features

• Powered by a 12V clip-in battery. 
• Vacuum generated by high performance vacuum pump. 
• Features both audio and visual alarm. 
• Foam vacuum gasket suit smooth, flamed, and bush-hammered surfaces.

• Working load limit: Max 380 Kgs (depends on vacuum pad dimensions).

What our Experts Think

• Compact bridge-saw unloading vacuum lifter, the Aardwolf ASVL-380 Swiftlift is designed for efficiently lifting cut stone slabs from horizontal saw tables and repositioning them onto transport frames or workstations.
• Dual-position handling (horizontal → vertical rotation) enables smooth, controlled movement of slabs during post-cut processing, improving workflow speed in fabrication shops.
• Strong working load capacity up to 380 kg, depending on vacuum pad configuration, making it suitable for medium-to-large granite, marble, and engineered stone pieces.
• Powered by a 12V clip-in battery system, allowing cordless operation with quick battery swaps to maintain continuous productivity throughout the day.
• High-performance vacuum pump with foam gasket pads, ensuring reliable grip on smooth, flamed, or bush-hammered stone surfaces.
• Built-in audio and visual safety alarms, helping operators monitor vacuum pressure and reduce risk during lifting operations.
• Lightweight industrial design (~15 kg unit weight) improves maneuverability and reduces operator fatigue in repetitive handling tasks.

Q&A

Q: What is the Aardwolf Swiftlift ASVL-380 used for?
A: The ASVL-380 is a compact vacuum lifter designed for unloading, handling, and transferring stone slabs and cut pieces—especially from bridge saw tables—between horizontal and vertical positions in fabrication and installation work.

Q: What is the load capacity of the ASVL-380?
A: It has a maximum working load limit of up to 380 kg (838 lb) depending on the vacuum pad size and configuration.

Q: How is the Swiftlift ASVL-380 powered?
A: It runs on a 12V clip-in battery system with a high-performance vacuum pump, allowing cordless operation and quick battery swapping for continuous use.

Q: Can the ASVL-380 handle different surface types?
A: Yes. Its foam vacuum gasket is designed to grip smooth, flamed, and bush-hammered stone surfaces, improving versatility across fabrication jobs.

Q: What safety features does it include?
A: The system includes audio and visual alarms plus a vacuum monitoring system to alert the operator in case of pressure loss.

Q: What makes the ASVL-380 efficient for workshop use?
A: Its compact design, lightweight frame, and fast pad/battery change system allow quick handling of slabs with minimal downtime, especially in production and loading workflows.

Maintenance Tips

• nspect vacuum pads before each use for wear, cracking, hardening, or reduced suction performance.
• Clean suction pads after every operation to remove dust, slurry, and material residue.
• Check vacuum pump, hoses, and seals for leaks, loose fittings, or pressure loss.
• Ensure vacuum gauge/indicator reaches and holds correct vacuum level before lifting.
• Verify battery (if equipped) is fully charged and electrical connections are clean and secure.
• Test alarm and safety systems regularly to confirm proper vacuum monitoring.
• Lubricate tilt/rotation and moving joints periodically with light machine oil (keep away from pads).
• Never exceed the rated 380 kg lifting capacity and ensure load surface is clean, dry, and non-porous.
• Inspect frame, lifting hook, and swivel points for cracks, wear, or deformation.
• Store in a dry, dust-free environment away from heat and sunlight to protect rubber and electronics.
