Aardwolf Horizontal Stone Lifting Clamp – 11 in. to 28 in. Grip, Crane and Boom Ready
Aardwolf Horizontal Stone Lifting Clamp – 11 in. to 28 in. Grip, Crane and Boom Ready
The Aardwolf Horizontal Stone Lifting Clamp AHLC-730 carries slabs and blocks lying flat, gripping from 11 in. up to 28 in. It hangs from a crane, gantry, or large forklift boom and closes under load, so the workpiece cannot slip once the lift begins.
Not the right tool for: vertical (edge-up) lifting — use a slab lifter or scissor clamp lifter for upright handling.
Key Features
- Grip range 11 in. to 28 in. (280–730 mm), the compact model in the AHLC family
- Gravity-controlled clamping: closes when lifted, opens when the load is set down
- High-friction rubber pads protect polished faces and are replaceable
- Suits cranes, gantries, and large forklift booms
- Steel construction built for daily yard and shop use
What's Included
One AHLC-730 clamp. Rotation pads and the limit-stop accessory are sold separately.
Who Is This For
Slab yards and fabricators moving stone flat off saws, tables, and trucks — anywhere a horizontal pick is safer than tilting the piece upright first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it need power or air?
A: No. The clamping action is gravity-controlled and fully mechanical.
Q: Will the pads mark a polished surface?
A: The jaws are lined with high-friction rubber made for finished stone; worn pads can be replaced rather than replacing the clamp.
Q: What if my pieces are wider than 28 in.?
A: Step up the family: the AHLC-1050, AHLC-1370, and AHLC-2010 extend the same design to wider grips.
