Aardwolf Transport Frame – 96.5 x 48.8 x 14.2 in., 6,614 lb Working Load Limit
The Aardwolf Transport Frame AF2440-QP is a heavy-duty double-sided slab transport frame with a 6,614 lb working load limit, built to carry stone slabs to site and be moved as a loaded unit.
It belongs to Aardwolf's Transport Frames - Heavy Duty line, which is a separate and stronger line from the TF-series frames. The QP suffix is a genuine Aardwolf model code and Aardwolf does not publish an expansion for it.
Key Features
- 6,614 lb working load limit (3,000 kg) - Aardwolf's Heavy Duty transport frame rating
- 11.6 in. of slab storage base width on each side, so the frame is loaded from both faces
- Net weight 542 lb, gross 556 lb - the frame alone is a forklift or crane item, not a hand-moved one
- Model AF2440-QP, one of the AF1850QP / AF2440QP / AF2750QP / AF3500QP family, sized by frame length
What's Included
- One transport frame
Who Is This For?
Slab suppliers, glaziers and fabricators delivering full slabs to construction sites, where the frame and its load are lifted together and set down on a floor rather than unloaded piece by piece.
This is not a shop cart. At 542 lb empty it cannot be pushed around by hand once loaded, and it is not the frame to buy for moving slabs between stations inside a fabrication shop - the Aardwolf Slab Buggy Double Side, at 1,653 lb total on braked swivel wheels, is the tool for that. If you want a lighter double-sided frame for yard and truck work rather than heavy site delivery, the Aardwolf Transport Frame TF2000PC is 78-3/4 in. long with a 5,511 lb total limit. Whatever hook or tine you lift from must be rated at or above the loaded weight; the Aardwolf Swivel Hook is only a 1.5 ton fitting and is not enough on its own for a fully loaded frame.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the load limit of the Aardwolf Transport Frame AF2440-QP?
Aardwolf publishes a working load limit of 6,614 lb (3,000 kg) for the AF2440QP transport frame.
How much slab width does each side hold?
The slab storage base is 11.6 in. wide on each side of the frame.
How heavy is the empty frame?
The AF2440QP frame weighs 542 lb net and 556 lb gross, so it is handled with a forklift or crane rather than by hand.
What does QP mean in the model number?
QP is a model suffix Aardwolf uses across the AF1850QP, AF2440QP, AF2750QP and AF3500QP heavy-duty frames. Aardwolf does not publish what the letters stand for, so it should be quoted as printed rather than expanded.
Is this the same as an Aardwolf TF-series transport frame?
No. The AF-series QP frames are Aardwolf's Transport Frames - Heavy Duty line; the TF2000 / TF2440 / TF3050 frames are a separate, lighter-rated line.
