Q&A
Q: What is the Aardwolf Vacuum Lifter AVLP1 Pro 250kg (AVLP1PRO-250)?
A: A compact, professional pneumatic vacuum lifter designed for safe handling, lifting, and 0°–90° tilting of stone slabs such as granite, marble, and engineered stone in fabrication and installation work.
Q: What is the lifting capacity?
A: Up to 250 kg (551 lb) horizontal lifting and approximately 125 kg vertical lifting, depending on setup and material conditions.
Q: How many vacuum pads does it have?
A: It typically uses 1 large aluminum vacuum pad (around 500 × 300 mm) for strong single-point slab grip.
Q: Can it tilt materials?
A: Yes. It provides pneumatic 0°–90° tilting between vertical and horizontal positions for controlled slab handling and installation.
Q: What powers the AVLP1PRO-250?
A: It runs on compressed air (around 5 bar / 72 psi) and includes a vacuum tank plus a 12V battery-powered alarm system for safety monitoring.
Q: What safety features are included?
A: Key features include vacuum reserve tank backup, audio/visual low-vacuum alarms, and automatic pressure monitoring to reduce risk during lifting operations.
Q: Why choose the AVLP1 Pro 250kg model?
A: It improves safety, reduces manual handling, speeds up slab movement, and is ideal for compact fabrication shops and on-site installation work where maneuverability is important.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect vacuum pads before every use for cuts, wear, hardening, or contamination that can reduce suction performance.
- Clean pads and sealing surfaces after each job to remove dust, slurry, oil, and stone residue.
- Check vacuum hoses, fittings, and valves regularly for leaks, cracks, or loose connections.
- Test vacuum pressure gauge and audio/visual alarm system before operation to ensure safe lifting conditions.
- Inspect the vacuum tank for moisture buildup and drain if required to maintain reliable suction backup.
- Ensure compressed air supply is clean, dry, and stable at the recommended operating pressure.
- Examine tilt mechanism (0–90°), frame, and lifting eye for signs of wear, corrosion, or deformation.
- Verify all bolts, pins, and fasteners are tight and secure before each lift.
- Never exceed the rated load capacity (250 kg horizontal / 125 kg vertical).
- Store the unit in a dry, protected environment to prevent corrosion and damage to rubber and seals.
- Replace worn pads, seals, filters, or safety components immediately with approved parts only.
