6. All personnel must stand clear of the load while it is being lifted or moved.
7. The grip depends on friction. Check that the rubber pads are free to form dirt, grease and
other substances that may reduce their effectiveness.
8. Do not lift wet slabs. The grip depends on friction. Lifting wet slabs may cause the rubber
pads to lose their grip.
9. The Aardwolf Slab Lifter AL40A combines friction and force on the load being lifted and
therefore, will safely hoist up to 2 x 20mm thick stone slabs together.
NOTE: No other secondary securing, lifting, fastening or strapping components, or
ancillary materials, are required to be used in conjunction with the AL40A clamp to safely
lift 2 slabs within the grip range, the clamp acts independent of any other accessory and is
a key advantage for efficient and safe movement of slabs.
Multiple Slab Lifting:
10. Position the clamp so that it is square with the slab to be lifted, and in the center
of the slab so that the load is balanced.
11. Make sure that the slab is inserted to the full depth into the opening of the clamp.
12. Take up slack slowly. A trial tensioning of the load will usually indicate proper balance.
13. Do not lower the clamp onto other slabs or material while lowering the slab into
racks, as the clamp will release its load. Important! In order to protect people from
getting injured it is important to follow some general safety directions while
using hoisting accessories.
14. Read the operation manual carefully before you use hoisting accessories.
15. Make sure that the operation manual is always available at the place where the
hoisting accessories are used.

- If the slabs have a single polished surface, then
the polished surfaces must face each other
during the clamping and lifting process.
- The slabs must be the same height and width
and aligned to the side and top edges of the
slabs to ensure the slabs are lifted uniformly.
(See image 2).
- There must be NO loose materials, foreign
objects, or rubbish between the slabs preventing
the slabs from being firmly and evenly brought
together within the clamp.
- The combined weight of the slabs being lifted
must not exceed the AL40A working load limit of
1200 kg (2,646 lb).
