Aardwolf Scissor Lifter – 2 in. to 8 in. Grip, 3,307 lb Working Load Limit
Aardwolf Scissor Lifter – 2 in. to 8 in. Grip, 3,307 lb Working Load Limit
The Aardwolf Scissor Lifter ASL200 is a gravity-operated scissor clamp that grips blocks and heavy stone between two pivoting arms across a 2 in. to 8 in. range, with a 3,307 lb working load limit.
Aardwolf's own line name for it is the Scissor Clamp Lifter, and the distinction matters: this is a clamp that hangs from a crane hook or forklift boom and tightens on the load as it lifts, not a scissor lift table or platform. The model number is the maximum grip in millimetres.
Key Features
- Grip range 2 in. to 8 in. (50-200 mm)
- 3,307 lb working load limit (1,500 kg)
- Gravity-controlled auto-locking action - the load's own weight closes the arms
- Net weight 104 lb, gross 110 lb
- Packaging 820 x 230 x 450 mm, so it stores on a shelf rather than a pallet
- One of the ASL105 / ASL125 / ASL200 / ASL300 / ASL450 family, stepped by grip range
What's Included
- One scissor clamp lifter
Who Is This For?
Hardscape yards, block suppliers and masonry operations lifting kerbs, blocks and thick stone with a crane or a boom-equipped forklift, where the material is thick enough for a scissor action to bite.
The 2 in. minimum grip rules out slab work entirely. The arms cannot close on 2 cm or 3 cm stone, so a slab lifter is the tool for that - the Aardwolf Lifter 50 grips 3/8 in. to 2 in., though at 2,646 lb it is rated below this clamp's 3,307 lb, so re-check the load. At the other end, material wider than 8 in. needs a block clamp: the Aardwolf Versa Block Clamp opens to 23-5/8 in. and its reversible jaws also grip internally. Whatever you hang it from must be rated for the load - the Aardwolf Swivel Hook is a 1.5 ton fitting, which is below this clamp's 3,307 lb limit at full load.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the working load limit of the Aardwolf Scissor Lifter ASL200?
Aardwolf publishes a 3,307 lb (1,500 kg) working load limit for the ASL200 scissor clamp lifter.
What is the grip range?
2 in. to 8 in. (50-200 mm). The arms will not close on anything thinner than 2 in.
Is this a scissor lift table?
No. It is a scissor-action clamp that grips a block or stone between two arms and is lifted by a crane or forklift. A scissor lift is a different class of machine entirely, and the two are often confused because of the name.
How does the clamp hold the load?
The action is gravity-controlled: lifting force pulls the arms together, so the heavier the load the tighter the grip, and the arms open again when the load is grounded.
How heavy is the clamp?
The ASL200 weighs 104 lb net and 110 lb gross.
