Aardwolf TPBL-600 Turf Paving Block Lifter — Landscaping Stone Handler
The Aardwolf TPBL-600 is a mechanical scissor-style block lifter designed for landscaping crews handling turf pavers, concrete blocks, and natural-stone setts. The 600 mm (24") jaw opening lets it grip a wide range of paver sizes, and the gravity-locking clamp action holds the load secure as it is lifted by crane, skid-steer attachment, or excavator.

- Mechanical scissor-style clamp — no hydraulics or air required
- Gravity-locking action grips on lift, releases when set down
- Welded steel construction with painted finish
- Connects to crane hook, excavator, or lifting attachment
- Designed for turf paving blocks, concrete pavers, and stone setts

- Inspect the lifter for damage and verify the clamp arms swing freely before each shift.
- Attach the lifting eye to a rated crane hook, excavator thumb, or skid-steer attachment.
- Lower the lifter over the paver until the jaws straddle the block, then tag-line into position.
- Lift slowly — the gravity action will close the jaws and grip the block as tension is taken.
- Move the load with a steady motion; avoid shock loads or swinging.
- Set the block fully down so the lifter goes slack — the jaws will release automatically.
- Never stand or walk under a suspended load.
- Verify your lifting equipment's working load limit exceeds both the lifter weight and the paver weight combined.
- Inspect the clamp pads and pivot pins before each use; remove from service if cracks or excessive wear are visible.
- Use tag lines for control — do not push or pull a swinging load by hand.
