Aardwolf AVLM2-500 Manual Vacuum Lifter — 1,102 lb Two-Pad Slab Lifter
The Aardwolf AVLM2-500 is a pneumatic two-pad vacuum lifter rated for 1,102 lb (500 kg) of stone slab. Built for fabrication shops handling marble, granite, engineered stone, limestone, sandstone, and concrete slabs, the AVLM2-500 lifts both smooth and rough surfaces, tilts manually from 0° to 90°, and lets the operator rotate the pads to 45° or 90° for flexible slab orientation. An on-board vacuum tank holds reserve vacuum if shop air is interrupted.
Features
- 1,102 lb (500 kg) rated lifting capacity
- Two vacuum pads for balanced slab pickup
- Pneumatic vacuum pump runs on 5–6 bar (~73–87 psi) shop air
- Manual 0°–90° tilt for slab placement
- Rotating pads — index to 45° and 90° for orientation control
- Reserve vacuum tank holds the load on a sudden air interruption
- Energy-saver mode reduces pump cycling and noise
- Designed for marble, granite, engineered stone, limestone, sandstone, and concrete slabs (smooth or rough)

- Connect a clean, dry shop-air supply at 5–6 bar (~73–87 psi) and verify the vacuum pump primes.
- Attach the lifter's lifting eye to a rated crane hook or jib that exceeds the combined slab + lifter weight.
- Position the pads flat on the slab — both pads must contact clean, sound stone with no chips or seams under the seal ring.
- Open the vacuum valve; wait for the gauge to enter the "safe" zone before lifting any load.
- Lift slowly. Use the manual tilt and pad-rotation controls to orient the slab as needed for placement.
- Set the slab down fully before releasing vacuum. Confirm the load is supported, then vent the pads and disconnect.
- Never stand or walk under a suspended slab.
- Always verify the vacuum gauge is in the safe range before lifting; abort and reseat the pads if the reading drops.
- Do not lift cracked, chipped, or laminated slabs without inspection — the seal can fail at the defect.
- Keep the pad seal rings clean; inspect for cuts or compression set before each shift.
- Do not exceed the rated 1,102 lb (500 kg) capacity, even briefly.
Always wear appropriate PPE. Follow local safety regulations when using power tools or material-handling equipment.
