Aardwolf Concrete Pipe Lifter ACPL750 – 15-3/4 in. to 19-3/4 in. Grip, Rated 1,653 lb

The Aardwolf Concrete Pipe Lifter ACPL750 hangs from an excavator or crane and sets precast pipe without workers in the trench: it grips pipe outside diameters from 15-3/4 in. to 19-3/4 in. at a 1,653 lb working load limit, locking automatically on lift and releasing on set-down.

Not the right tool for: steel or plastic pipe with thin walls that could deform under jaw pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does release work?
A: Lowering the pipe onto grade releases the jaws automatically — no one touches the load.

Q: What about larger pipe?
A: Aardwolf publishes the ACPL1500 (19-3/4 in. to 29-1/2 in.) and ACPL2500 (29 in. to 39 in.) for bigger diameters.

Q: Maintenance needs?
A: Routine inspection of pivots, pads, and the locking mechanism; there are no hydraulics to service.
