Aardwolf Scissor Lifter - ASL450

The Aardwolf Scissor Clamp Lifter is equipped with a rubber contact pad for the safe handling of materials. By means of a gravity controlled locking latch, the clamp automatically grips and releases the materials. Suitable for lifting marble and granite slabs, tomb stones, concrete barriers, curbs (Kerbs) and median walls.

• Auto locks and unlocks
• Vulcanized rubber pads
• Protective rubber-lined bar prevents the material from chipping

What our Experts Think

• High-capacity heavy-duty slab lifter, the Aardwolf ASL450 is engineered for safe vertical lifting of large-format stone, concrete, kerbs, and structural slabs in demanding fabrication and construction environments.
• Gravity-controlled auto-locking system automatically grips during lifting and releases when the load is set down, reducing manual handling and improving operational safety.
• Extra-wide grip range (300–450 mm / 12–18") makes it suitable for thick stone blocks, heavy concrete barriers, and large retaining wall elements.
• Impressive working load capacity up to 2000 kg (≈4400 lbs) supports industrial-scale lifting tasks while maintaining stability and control.
• Replaceable high-friction rubber pads ensure a firm hold while protecting stone edges from chips, cracks, and surface damage during lifting.
• Side rollers and centered lifting geometry help improve load alignment, reducing strain on materials and improving handling precision on site.
• Heavy-duty steel construction with protective coating is built for long service life in harsh workshop and outdoor conditions.

Q&A

Q: What is the Aardwolf Scissor Lifter ASL450 used for?
A: The ASL450 is a heavy-duty scissor clamp lifter designed for vertical lifting and handling of large stone slabs, concrete barriers, curbs, and similar construction materials in fabrication and site work.

Q: What is the load capacity of the ASL450?
A: It has a working load limit of up to 2000 kg, making it suitable for heavy industrial lifting tasks.

Q: What is the grip range of the ASL450?
A: The clamp supports material thicknesses from 300 mm to 450 mm (12"–18").

Q: How does the ASL450 operate?

A: It includes side rollers for alignment, a central lifting hook for crane attachment, and a secure auto-locking scissor mechanism for stable handling.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect hydraulic system regularly for leaks, pressure loss, and hose damage before use.
• Check scissor arms, welds, and pivot points for cracks, bending, or excessive wear.
• Keep platform clean and free from stone dust, slurry, and debris to ensure stable lifting.
• Lubricate all pivot joints, pins, and moving parts regularly to reduce friction and wear.
• Verify safety locks, height stops, and control mechanisms are fully functional before operation.
• Never exceed the rated 450 kg load capacity and ensure load is evenly distributed.
• Inspect wheels, brakes, and base frame for proper function and tightness.
• Lower platform fully after use to release hydraulic pressure and extend system life.
• Store in a dry, covered area to prevent corrosion and hydraulic component damage.
• Replace worn seals, hoses, or damaged parts immediately to maintain safe performance.
