GENERAL
The purpose of this manual is to assist the operator in the correct use of the Slab Lifter,
to provide information on the safe use of the Slab Lifter and to eliminate any risks that
might be caused by the incorrect use of the Slab Lifter. The lifting clamp must be used
only for the purpose for which it has been made, namely for lifting and moving slab
form loads with smooth surfaces. Any other use is to be considered improper, and
consequently, dangerous. The manufacture cannot be held responsible for any damage
to people or things by improper, incorrect or unreasonable use of the machine.
This user manual should be read, trained, and understood by operators prior to use, and
should form part of a broader, safe operating procedure for moving slabs utilising the
AL40A clamp using a forklift and/or gantry crane.
The Aardwolf Slab Lifter series is the equipment for lifting and moving of slab-form
materials with smooth surfaces. The Aardwolf Slab Lifter incorporates a
spring-loaded latch that automatically releases the lifter from the slab once the
slab has been fully lowered to the ground. The operating process becomes simple
by one man user's interaction only. And it can be used in and outside the factory.
Aardwolf is always upgrading of latest technologies for this product line to make
the operating process becomes easier to lift and move of slabs safer and more
convenient. Specially, the Aardwolf Slab Lifter Automatic allows the clamp to
automatically grip slabs on pick-up and release the slabs on set down by auto-lock
and un-lock mechanism. And If you are wondering how to lift and move safely and
efficient thin sheets as engineered porcelain, glass and other thin ceramic sheets,
the Aardwolf Slab Lifter AL30AWJ is the best solution for you. This lifter is not only
providing a bigger surface of contact but also clamping force is tighter and safer.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Purpose of this Manual:
Introduction:
The Aardwolf Slab Lifter 40A combines friction and force on the load being lifted and
therefore, will safely hoist slabs within the grip range of up to 40mm, for example 2 x 20mm
thick slabs, and within the working load limit of 1200 kg (2,646 lb).
1. Carefully consider all safety regulations and existing standards and codes in your
country for hoisting operations.
2. Permission to work with the Slab Lifter should only be given to people who are suitably
trained, competent and acquainted with this operating manual and safety regulations.
3. Inspect clamp. If the clamp is worn or damaged, do not use it.
4. Select the proper size clamp for the job. Determine the weight of the slab to be lifted.
Donot exceed the working load limit shown on the clamp. Slab thickness must be within
the grip range specified by the manufacturer.
5. Do a risk assessment of the material that is being lifted. The slab must be free of fractures
and other defects that may cause the slab to fall apart while being lifted.
