Weha Riba 1 Cable Slab Scissor Lifter -  8010235

The Weha Riba Series Cable Scissor Lifters are perfect for picking up any stone slab or steel plate from a horizontal position and lifting it to a vertical position.
Likewise, the Riba Series Cable Scissor lifters will take a Steel Plate or Slab and transition from a Vertical position and lower it to a horizontal position.

The Weha Riba Series Cable Scissor Lifters are operated by 2 super strong steel wire cables and roller bearings. So when lifting and tilting material the cable is always tight and creating pressure so that the Riba Scissor Lifter never releases the material.

The 2 cables have eye loops for eye hooks, clamps, shackles etc.
The Riba Scissor Lifter can be used with Fork Lift Booms, Jib Cranes, Over Head cranes, etc.

Fully hot dipped galvanized, the Riba Slab Lifters will last for many many years.

Riba Scissor Slab Grab lifters come with 3" Diameter Rubber Grip Pads that create a super strong grip on the stone. These grips can easily be replaced when worn out.

Riba 1 Cable Series Slab Scissor Lifter:
Light and manageable slab grab for vertical transport of slabs.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the lifting cable, gripping arms, welds, and frame before each use for wear, damage, or deformation.
• Check all bolts, pins, fasteners, and pivot points regularly to ensure secure and safe operation.
• Keep moving parts, hinges, and gripping surfaces clean and free from dust, stone particles, and debris.
• Lubricate pivot points and moving mechanisms periodically to reduce wear and maintain smooth lifting performance.
• Examine the cable for fraying, kinks, corrosion, or excessive wear and replace it immediately if damaged.
• Never exceed the rated lifting capacity and always ensure slabs are balanced and securely positioned before lifting.
• Store the lifter in a clean, dry environment to help prevent corrosion and extend equipment lifespan.
• Perform routine safety inspections and preventive maintenance to ensure reliable lifting performance and long-term durability.
