What our Experts Think

• Professional-grade slab lifting solution, the Aardwolf AL60R Slab Lifter with Rollers is designed for safe, efficient handling of granite, marble, quartz, and engineered stone slabs in fabrication and installation environments.
• Wide grip range (15–60 mm / 5/8”–2 3/8”) makes it ideal for standard countertop and wall-cladding thicknesses used in everyday stonework.
• High working load limit up to 1200 kg (2646 lbs) supports heavy commercial slabs while maintaining a strong safety factor for controlled lifting operations.
• Integrated roller system on top edge protects slab edges and allows smoother positioning and manual centering during lifting and placement.
• Automatic spring-loaded locking mechanism enables one-person operation by gripping during lift and releasing automatically when the slab is fully lowered.
• Front-clamp geometry with compact design allows slabs to be lifted from tightly packed racks and positioned close to walls, improving workflow efficiency in confined spaces.
• Rubber-lined jaws and aluminum construction help reduce edge chipping while keeping the tool lightweight and durable for daily workshop use.

Q&A

Q: What is the Aardwolf Slab Lifter 60 with Rollers (AL60R) used for?
A: The AL60R is designed for lifting and transporting granite, marble, quartz, and engineered stone slabs safely in fabrication shops, storage yards, and construction sites.

Q: How does the AL60R operate?
A: It uses a spring-loaded locking latch that automatically grips the slab during lifting and releases it when the slab is fully lowered, enabling efficient one-person handling.

Q: What is the grip range of the AL60R?
A: The clamp handles slab thicknesses from 15–60 mm (5/8"–2 3/8").

Q: What is the load capacity of the AL60R?
A: It has a working load limit of up to 1200 kg (2646 lbs).

Q: What is the purpose of the rollers?
A: The integrated side rollers protect slab edges and help with smoother centering and positioning during engagement.

Q: What are the key safety benefits of the AL60R?
A: It requires minimal slab movement to engage, reducing operator risk and ensuring stable lifting below the over-balance angle.

Q: What materials can it handle?
A: It is suitable for natural and engineered stone slabs commonly used in construction and countertop fabrication.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect roller wheels before each use for cracks, flat spots, wear, or trapped stone debris.
• Ensure rollers spin freely and are correctly aligned for smooth slab movement.
• Clean rollers, jaws, and frame after every use to remove dust, slurry, and grit buildup.
• Check gripping pads/contact surfaces for wear and replace if grip performance is reduced.
• Lubricate all pivot points and moving joints regularly with light machine oil (avoid rollers).
• Verify all pins, bolts, and locking mechanisms are secure and fully engaged before lifting.
• Never exceed the rated 60 mm slab thickness capacity (approx.) and WLL limits.
• Inspect lifting arms and structural frame for cracks, bending, or deformation.
• Store in a dry, covered location to prevent corrosion and extend service life.
• Remove from service immediately if roller failure, slippage, or structural damage is detected
