Aardwolf Mono Mechanical Vacuum Lifter 150 With Handle - AMMVL150H

Aardwolf Mono Mechanical Vacuum Lifter 150 With Handle - AMMVL150H

No power source required. Ideal for the horizontal handling of non-porous sheet and plate materials such as diamond sawn or polished granite, engineered stone, all types of metals, plastics and fibreglass. An automatic self-cycling valve located in the bottom of the piston controls the vacuum grip-and-release cycle.
A handle (sold separately) is manually employed by two persons for easy transportation.

Features

• Self-powered and self-cycling

Q&A

Q: What is the Aardwolf Mono Mechanical Vacuum Lifter 150 With Handle (AMMVL150H)?
A: The AMMVL150H is a manual, self-powered vacuum lifting device designed for safely handling non-porous sheet materials such as stone, glass, metal, plastic, and fiberglass without electricity or compressed air.

Q: What is the lifting capacity of the AMMVL150H?
A: It has a Working Load Limit of 150 kg (331 lb), making it suitable for medium-duty slab and sheet handling tasks.

Q: Does the AMMVL150H require power or air supply?
A: No. It operates mechanically with a self-cycling vacuum system, and only uses a small 9V battery for the safety alarm system.

Q: What is the purpose of the handle version?
A: The “H” (handle) version allows two operators to manually carry and position the load, improving control and safety during transport.

Q: What materials can it lift?
A: It is designed for smooth, non-porous surfaces such as polished granite, engineered stone, metal sheets, fiberglass, and plastics.

Q: What are the key features of the AMMVL150H?
A: Key features include a self-cycling vacuum valve, aluminum lightweight body, immediate readiness, low maintenance design, and an integrated audio safety alarm.

Q: Why choose the Aardwolf AMMVL150H?
A: It improves on-site safety and efficiency by enabling secure, power-free lifting of slabs with stable grip control and reduced manual strain in fabrication and installation work.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean the 8" suction pad before and after each use to maintain strong vacuum grip on non-porous surfaces.
• Inspect the rubber sealing edge for cuts, wear, or deformation; replace if suction performance drops.
• Ensure the vacuum pad surface is free from dust, oil, slurry, or stone residue for safe lifting.
• Check the self-cycling mechanical valve for smooth operation and consistent grip/release action.
• Test the 9V battery-powered alarm system regularly to ensure audible low-vacuum warnings are working.
• Inspect the aluminum body, swivel hook, and handle attachment points for cracks or loosening.
• Verify the working load limit (150 kg / 331 lb) is never exceeded and loads are properly balanced.
• Keep internal mechanisms dry and free from abrasive dust to prevent valve or piston wear.
• Store the unit in a clean, dry environment away from direct moisture and corrosive materials.
• Lubrication is generally minimal, but moving joints and handle connections should be checked periodically for smooth motion.
• Perform a vacuum hold test before each shift to confirm safe suction strength.
