• Single-Pad Precision Grip: Its single vacuum pad system provides controlled, accurate handling for individual slabs, especially useful in tight workshop spaces or precision positioning jobs.
• Pneumatic 0°–90° Tilting Function: Enables smooth vertical-to-horizontal rotation, allowing safer installation and easier material placement with reduced manual strain.
• Built-In Vacuum Safety System: Includes a vacuum tank that maintains suction in case of pressure loss, improving operational safety during lifting and transport.
• Smart Alarm Protection: Features audio-visual warning indicators powered by a rechargeable battery, helping operators monitor vacuum levels in real time.
• Compressed Air Powered Efficiency: Runs on pneumatic power for consistent performance in industrial environments without relying on heavy electrical systems.
• Compact & Workshop-Friendly Design: Its lighter frame and single-pad configuration make it easy to maneuver, store, and deploy in smaller fabrication setups.

Q&A

Q: What is the Aardwolf Vacuum Lifter AVLP1 Pro 250kg (AVLP1PRO-250)?
A: A compact, professional pneumatic vacuum lifter designed for safe handling, lifting, and 0°–90° tilting of stone slabs such as granite, marble, and engineered stone in fabrication and installation work.

Q: What is the lifting capacity?
A: Up to 250 kg (551 lb) horizontal lifting and approximately 125 kg vertical lifting, depending on setup and material conditions.

Q: How many vacuum pads does it have?
A: It typically uses 1 large aluminum vacuum pad (around 500 × 300 mm) for strong single-point slab grip.

Q: Can it tilt materials?
A: Yes. It provides pneumatic 0°–90° tilting between vertical and horizontal positions for controlled slab handling and installation.

Q: What powers the AVLP1PRO-250?
A: It runs on compressed air (around 5 bar / 72 psi) and includes a vacuum tank plus a 12V battery-powered alarm system for safety monitoring.

Q: What safety features are included?
A: Key features include vacuum reserve tank backup, audio/visual low-vacuum alarms, and automatic pressure monitoring to reduce risk during lifting operations.

Q: Why choose the AVLP1 Pro 250kg model?
A: It improves safety, reduces manual handling, speeds up slab movement, and is ideal for compact fabrication shops and on-site installation work where maneuverability is important.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect vacuum pads before every use for cuts, wear, hardening, or contamination that can reduce suction performance.
• Clean pads and sealing surfaces after each job to remove dust, slurry, oil, and stone residue.
• Check vacuum hoses, fittings, and valves regularly for leaks, cracks, or loose connections.
• Test vacuum pressure gauge and audio/visual alarm system before operation to ensure safe lifting conditions.
• Inspect the vacuum tank for moisture buildup and drain if required to maintain reliable suction backup.
• Ensure compressed air supply is clean, dry, and stable at the recommended operating pressure.
• Examine tilt mechanism (0–90°), frame, and lifting eye for signs of wear, corrosion, or deformation.
• Verify all bolts, pins, and fasteners are tight and secure before each lift.
• Never exceed the rated load capacity (250 kg horizontal / 125 kg vertical).
• Store the unit in a dry, protected environment to prevent corrosion and damage to rubber and seals.
• Replace worn pads, seals, filters, or safety components immediately with approved parts only.
