What our Experts Think
- Designed for horizontal lifting and controlled handling of large stone slabs, concrete blocks, and natural stone units in fabrication yards and construction sites.
- 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) working load limit ensures reliable performance for demanding industrial lifting tasks.
- Extra-wide grip range of 280–2010 mm (11"–79") makes it one of the most versatile clamps in the AHLC series for mixed slab sizes.
- Features a gravity-controlled automatic locking system that grips on lift and releases when fully set down, reducing manual handling and improving safety.
- Equipped with high-friction, replaceable polyurethane rubber pads to protect polished stone surfaces from scratches, chips, and pressure damage.
- Compatible with cranes and forklift boom systems, supporting flexible use across workshop and site environments.
- Built from heavy-duty industrial steel construction, designed for repeated use in high-volume stone handling operations.
- Optional rotating pad upgrade (on AHLC-2010 series) improves material rotation and handling efficiency in tight or complex setups.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect jaws, lifting arms, pivot points, and frame before each use for cracks, wear, or deformation.
- Check serrated or rubber gripping pads regularly and replace when worn to maintain secure stone handling.
- Keep all clamp surfaces clean from stone dust, slurry, oil, and debris to ensure reliable grip performance.
- Lubricate pivot joints and moving mechanisms periodically for smooth opening and closing action.
- Verify safety latches, springs, and locking systems are fully functional before lifting operations.
- Do not exceed rated load capacity and ensure slabs are evenly balanced during lifting.
- Inspect lifting eye, shackle points, and welds for fatigue, elongation, or stress damage.
- Tighten bolts, pins, and fasteners regularly to maintain structural integrity and safe operation.
- Store in a dry, covered environment to prevent rust and corrosion on steel components.
- Perform routine inspections to detect early wear and maintain consistent lifting safety.
