Aardwolf Lifter Plastic Cap and Auto Locking Latch – ALA-1718 V2
Aardwolf Lifter Plastic Cap and Auto Locking Latch – ALA-1718 V2
The Aardwolf Lifter Plastic Cap and Auto Locking Latch ALA-1718 V2 is a replacement plastic cap and automatic locking latch assembly for Aardwolf automatic slab lifters, supplied in the current V2 revision.
It is a spare part, not a lifting device. Nothing here lifts anything on its own: the assembly restores the auto-locking action on a lifter you already own.
Key Features
- Replacement plastic cap and automatic locking latch for Aardwolf automatic slab lifters
- Supplied in the V2 revision, which is the current one
- V1 and V2 are separate revisions and are not interchangeable, so the revision marker matters when ordering
- Sold as a service part rather than as a lifting tool
Who Is This For?
Shops running Aardwolf automatic slab lifters that need to restore the auto-locking action after wear or damage, and that already know which revision their lifter takes.
This is not the product to buy if you are looking for a lifter. A buyer searching for an Aardwolf auto lifter wants the Aardwolf Lifter 50 Auto, which grips 3/8 in. to 2 in. at a 2,646 lb working load limit, or the Aardwolf Lifter 30 Wide Jaw for thin and large-format panels. Check your lifter's revision before ordering: V1 and V2 latches do not substitute for one another, and no manufacturer fitment list is published for this part, so confirm the model it goes on before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an Aardwolf slab lifter?
No. ALA-1718 V2 is the replacement plastic cap and auto-locking latch assembly for Aardwolf automatic slab lifters. It is a spare part.
What does V2 mean?
V2 is the revision of the cap and latch assembly. A V1 revision also exists and the two are not interchangeable, so the revision has to match the lifter.
What is the part for?
It replaces the plastic cap and automatic locking latch on an Aardwolf automatic slab lifter, which is the mechanism that locks the jaws under load and releases them at set-down.
Which lifters does it fit?
The fitment list is not published by Aardwolf. Confirm the model and revision of your lifter with Aardwolf or with us before ordering, because V1 and V2 do not substitute.
