Aardwolf Wedgee Slab Wedge – 35 mm Wedge, Creates Clearance for Jaw Insertion
The Aardwolf Wedgee Slab Wedge is a 35 mm wedge slipped between stacked slabs to open a gap, so a lifting clamp jaw can be inserted without anyone putting a hand into the stack.
Wedgee is Aardwolf's own name for it; the manufacturer's category is wedge spacers. It carries no load rating and holds nothing up - its whole job is to create the clearance that lets a rated clamp be seated safely.
Key Features
- 35 mm wedge, used on slabs up to 30 mm thick
- Creates clearance at the slab edge so a lifting clamp jaw can be inserted
- Keeps hands out of the gap between stacked slabs, which is where the injuries happen
- Used in pairs under opposite edges when a slab is being freed from a pack
Who Is This For?
Slab yards, container unloading crews and shop staff pulling slabs out of tightly packed racks and bundles, where the first problem is always getting something under the edge.
This is not a lifting or supporting device and has no working load limit. Never use it to hold slabs apart while someone reaches into a stack, and never treat it as a chock for a leaning slab - it is a jaw-insertion aid only. Once the gap is open, the lift itself is the clamp's job: the Aardwolf Lifter 50 grips 3/8 in. to 2 in. at 2,646 lb, and the Aardwolf Lifter 30 Wide Jaw takes thin and large-format panels from zero thickness. For carrying panels on foot rather than lifting them by crane, use the Aardwolf Sheet Material Carry Clamp.
