The Slab Lifter is a hoisting accessory for lifting and moving slab form loads with
smooth surfaces. It can be used in and outside the factory.
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
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 ecient 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.

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 specied by the manufacture.
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.
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 eectiveness.
8. Do not lift wet slabs. The grip depends on friction. Lifting wet slabs may cause the
rubber pads to lose their grip.
9.
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.
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.

suitably trained and competent.
17. Wear safety equipment, like the helmet, gloves and safety boots.
18. Never leave a lifted load unsupervised.
19. Lift a load only as much as is really necessary.
20. Do not get underneath the load and do not permit others to do so.
21. Connections or individual parts of hoisting accessories should never be able to
loosen by themselves.
22. Hoisting accessories must be stored in a place where they are protected against
weather conditions and aggressive substances.
23. Defect hoisting accessories are no longer to be used.
24. Repairs and checks are to be made only by qualied people.

1. Operating personnel must stand so that they always have a full view of raising/
lowering movements of the lifting equipment and its load.
2. Move the top of the slab out from the pack of slabs by using a pinch bar and wedge,
allowing enough room for the backplate of the clamp to pass between slab and
pack of slabs. Do not move the top of the slab pass center of balance, keep the slab
in an inclined position.
3. Position the clamp squarely and in the center of the slab so that the load is
balanced.
4. Make sure that the slab is inserted full depth into the opening of the clamp.
5. Release the locking latch so that the jaws will lock onto the slab when the lifting
cable is raised.

the load or the clamp could unintentionally rest on. In this event, the clamp can
drop the load.
IMPORTANT: Carefully observe the Safety instructions supplied with the lifting
clamp.
It is important to establish a regular procedure for clamp inspection. The frequency
of inspection will depend upon the amount of use the clamp receives. You may
wish to maintain a written record, indicating inspection dates, condition of the
clamp on each of those dates and any repairs made. Inspection records should be
reviewed periodically. Always use original spare parts when carrying out repairs or
maintenance.
