Aardwolf Horizontal Stone Lifting Clamp – 12 in. to 79 in. Grip, 8,818 lb Load Limit
Aardwolf Horizontal Stone Lifting Clamp – 12 in. to 79 in. Grip, 8,818 lb Load Limit
The Aardwolf Horizontal Stone Lifting Clamp AHLC-2010-4T is the 4 tonne model in Aardwolf's horizontal clamp line, gripping concrete blocks and stone from 12 in. to 79 in. across with an 8,818 lb working load limit.
The 4T suffix is a real Aardwolf model distinction rather than a distributor code: it is the uprated version of the AHLC-2010 and carries both a different load limit and a different 12 in. minimum grip.
Key Features
- 8,818 lb working load limit (4,000 kg) - the highest-rated clamp in the Aardwolf horizontal line
- Grip range 12 in. to 79 in. (300-2010 mm), so it takes full block and wide bundle work
- Net weight 503 lb, gross 547 lb
- Packaging 96.5 in. x 22 in. x 17.3 in., which is what determines how it arrives and where it can be stored
- Model number 2010 is the maximum grip in millimetres; 4T is the 4 tonne rating
What's Included
- One horizontal stone lifting clamp
Who Is This For?
Block yards, quarry loading docks and precast plants running an overhead crane or a heavy boom-equipped forklift, where the loads are wide and heavy enough that a smaller clamp would be working at its limit.
It is the wrong clamp for narrow loads. The jaws will not close below 12 in., so anything thinner - including any single slab - simply cannot be gripped; the Aardwolf Horizontal Stone Lifting Clamp AHLC-1370 closes to 11 in., and for actual slab work the Aardwolf Lifter 50 grips 3/8 in. to 2 in. Be careful about the rest of the rigging too: a clamp rated 8,818 lb must not be hung from a fitting rated lower, so the 1.5 ton Aardwolf Swivel Hook and the 2,646 lb Aardwolf Lifter Twister are both below this clamp's rating and are not suitable in line with it at full load.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the working load limit of the Aardwolf Horizontal Stone Lifting Clamp AHLC-2010-4T?
Aardwolf publishes an 8,818 lb (4,000 kg) working load limit for the AHLC-2010-4T horizontal stone lifting clamp.
What is the grip range?
12 in. to 79 in. (300-2010 mm). The clamp cannot close on anything narrower than 12 in.
What does the 4T in the model code mean?
4T means a 4 tonne working load limit, which is the 8,818 lb figure. It marks the uprated version of the AHLC-2010.
How heavy is the clamp itself?
The AHLC-2010-4T weighs 503 lb net and 547 lb gross, and it ships in a package 96.5 in. x 22 in. x 17.3 in.
Can it lift a single stone slab?
No. With a 12 in. minimum grip it cannot close on slab-thickness material; a slab lifter with a 3/8 in. to 2 in. grip range is the correct tool.
