Aardwolf Scissor Lifter ASL450 – 11-3/4 in. to 17-3/4 in. Grip, Gravity Auto-Locking

The Aardwolf Scissor Lifter ASL450 grips 11-3/4 in. to 17-3/4 in. (300–450 mm) using a gravity-controlled scissor action that locks on lift and releases on set-down. It handles stone, concrete sleepers, curbs, and similar solid loads.

Not the right tool for: fragile finished faces where point loading is a concern — use vacuum lifting for polished panels.
