Aardwolf AVLP2-500 Vacuum Lifter - AVLP2-500

Featuring rugged construction with the ability to lift and tilt materials. Powered by compressed air.

Features

• Pneumatic vertical-horizontal tilting from 0 to 90° by a pneumatic piston.
• The vacuum tank ensures safe pickup in the event of a sudden power break to the vacuum pump.
• Acoustic and visual alarm system powered by a rechargeable 12V Li-on battery.
• Slide valve with ON/OFF position for attaching and releasing of material.

What our Experts Think

• Professional pneumatic vacuum lifting system, the Aardwolf AVLP2-500 is designed for safe handling of granite, marble, limestone, and engineered stone slabs in fabrication and installation environments.
• High-capacity dual-pad design (500 kg horizontal / 250 kg vertical) enables stable lifting and controlled rotation of large slabs for precise positioning.
• 0–90° pneumatic tilting function allows smooth transition between vertical and horizontal handling, improving installation flexibility and reducing manual strain.
• Powered by compressed air system (≈5 bar / 180 L/min consumption) ensures consistent vacuum generation for reliable gripping performance across job sites.
• Integrated vacuum tank safety system maintains grip in case of power interruption, adding an extra layer of load security during lifting operations.
• Audio-visual alarm system with rechargeable 12V battery continuously monitors vacuum pressure for safer handling of high-value slabs.
• Slide valve quick attach/release control improves workflow efficiency during repetitive lifting and placement tasks in fabrication yards.
• Heavy-duty industrial build (~80 kg net weight) provides stability and durability for demanding workshop and site conditions.

Q&A

Q: What is the Aardwolf AVLP2-500 Vacuum Lifter used for?
A: The AVLP2-500 is a pneumatic vacuum lifting system designed for lifting, tilting, and installing smooth or rough stone slabs such as granite, marble, and engineered stone in fabrication and construction environments.

Q: What is the load capacity of the AVLP2-500?
A: It has a working load limit of 500 kg horizontally and 250 kg vertically, depending on orientation.

Q: How does the AVLP2-500 operate?
A: It runs on compressed air and uses pneumatic suction pads plus a vacuum tank system to maintain grip even during sudden power loss.

Q: Can the AVLP2-500 tilt materials?
A: Yes. It provides 0° to 90° pneumatic tilting, allowing controlled movement between horizontal and vertical positions.

Q: How many vacuum pads does it have?
A: It is equipped with 2 vacuum pads (approx. 500 × 300 mm each) for stable lifting of large slabs.

Q: What safety features does it include?
A: It includes a vacuum tank for backup grip, plus audio/visual alarms powered by a rechargeable battery system to warn of pressure loss.

Q: What materials can it handle?
A: It is suitable for stone and slab materials such as granite, marble, limestone, sandstone, and engineered stone.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect vacuum pads before each use for cracks, wear, hardening, or loss of sealing performance.
• Clean suction pads after every operation to remove dust, slurry, and material residue.
• Check vacuum pump, hoses, seals, and fittings for leaks or pressure loss before lifting.
• Ensure vacuum gauge/indicator shows correct holding pressure before operation.
• Verify battery (if equipped) is fully charged and electrical connections are clean and secure.
• Test alarms and safety systems regularly to confirm proper vacuum monitoring.
• Lubricate moving joints, tilt, and rotation mechanisms periodically with light machine oil (avoid pads).
• Never exceed the rated 500 kg lifting capacity and ensure load surface is clean, dry, and non-porous.
• Inspect frame, lifting hook, and swivel points for cracks, deformation, or wear.
• Store in a dry, dust-free area away from direct sunlight to preserve rubber and electrical components.
