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 eectiveness.
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 Automatic 60A will safety hoist 2 slabs together. However,
when lifting more than one slab, the slabs must be tightly combined into one unit.
Note:
Dual Slab Lifting:
- If polished, the polished surfaces must face in towards each other.
- The slabs must be the same height and width.
- There must be no other material or rubbish between the slabs.
- The combined weight of the slabs must not exceed 1200 kgs
(2,646 lbs).
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.
