Aardwolf Paving Stone Lifter APSL – Battery Vacuum Paver Tool, Pad-Rated Grip

The Aardwolf Paving Stone Lifter APSL is a battery-powered vacuum tool that spares backs and knees on paver installation, and works equally on concrete, sandstone, and slate. Aardwolf rates it by pad — 242.5 lb (110 kg) on the 10 7/8 x 6 7/8 in. pad and 62 lb (28 kg) on the 7 3/8 x 3 3/8 in. pad — with a heavy-duty aluminium head and a line of interchangeable heads. Aardwolf recommends lifting no more than 3 to 5 in. above the work surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why the 3 to 5 in. lifting height guidance?
A: It is Aardwolf's recommended safe working height — pavers travel just above the bedding layer, minimizing consequence if a unit releases.

Q: Does pad choice change the rating?
A: Yes — each pad size carries its own published capacity; fit the pad to the unit weight.
