Aardwolf Stone Grapple ASG for Heavy Stone Slab Lifting
Description
Description
Aardwolf Stone Grapple is an attachment that is mainly used for stones, rocks and other large, irregularly shaped objects that need to be handled, moved and loaded onto a truck or other industrial vehicle.
Aardwolf Stone Grapple has three arms that are designed to lift rocks & stones and provide a stable lift of irregularly shaped heavy boulders. The 3-point design provides for a quick, secure lift that creates a safe and easy way to move large objects using a single operator.
The Aardwolf Stone Grapple requires no hydraulics to operate. The Stone Grapple lifting tongs are fully automatic and give the operator complete control to grip or release a load. The three serrated tines contacting the load allow for a very stable lift cycle every time. Once the operator lowers the stone grapple onto a bolder, the stone grapple’s internally housed actuator allows the operator to begin lifting the bolder.
Once the bolder is set down, the stone grapple’s internally housed actuator allows the operator to lift the stone grapple from the bolder, ready for the next lift cycle.
Large jaw opening that allows it to pick up large boulders.
Always wear appropriate PPE. Follow local safety regulations when using power tools or chemical products.
