Aardwolf Brick Grabs Lifter - ABGL-1800

The Brick Grabs Lifter is made to mechanically lift, move and place various bricks in size without the need to hook up additional hydraulics or electrical for it to operate. Clamping jaws are equipped with durable rubber to hold tight materials. This device can be used with different types of cranes, such as overhead cranes, mobile cranes, truck-mounted cranes, or forklifts… in the factory or construction sites. The load must not be palletized and can be handled from inconvenient positions with limited space. The grab has adjustable plunge depth – convenient when you handle loads of varying heights.  

• Fully automatic mechanism. 
• Adjustable plunge depth for different pack sizes. 
• Profiled hooks for attachments. 
• Timesaving, labor-saving, and cost-saving

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the clamping jaws and rubber pads before each use; replace worn or damaged pads to maintain a secure grip.
• Check all hooks, pins, rollers, locking components, and fasteners regularly for wear, deformation, or looseness.
• Keep moving parts clean and free of dirt, brick dust, and construction debris to ensure smooth automatic operation.
• Lubricate pivot points, rollers, and mechanical joints according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Verify the adjustable plunge-depth mechanism operates freely and is properly set for the load height.
• Inspect the frame and welded areas for cracks, corrosion, or structural damage before lifting.
• Never exceed the 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) working load limit and always confirm loads are within the specified grip range.
• Ensure brick packs are securely clamped and balanced before lifting or transporting.
• Store the lifter in a dry, protected environment to reduce corrosion and extend service life.
• Maintain a routine inspection log and replace worn components promptly to maximize safety and reliability.
