Aardwolf Vacuum Block Lifter 380kg - AVBL380
The Aardwolf Vacuum Block Lifter is a professional-grade vacuum stone lifter. This stone slab lifteris the middle range block lifter, equipped with a powerful battery that can lift up to 900 pounds depending on pad size. The size of the pad on a vacuum stone lifter determines how much the vacuum lifter can move. The Vacuum Lifting Device have different pad size available for different lifting parameters. The vacuum hoist lifter is used for the laying of marble and granite slabs, concrete and other similar material. Robust and compact, the Aardwolf Block Lifter can be suspended on all types of lifting equipment by means of load hooks, chains, cables and the like. The Vacuum Lifter is part of Aardwolf Industries vacuum lift systems.
