Aardwolf Slab Lifter
Explore the Versatility of Aardwolf Slab Lifters
The Aardwolf Slab Lifter product line addresses various material handling needs, from maneuvering thin porcelain slabs to lifting dense, heavy stones.

Whether you’re in stone fabrication, construction, or warehouse operations, these tools are built to help professionals lift slabs efficiently, safely, and with confidence.
Story Behind the Slab Lifter Innovation
Aardwolf’s legacy began with James Corbett in the 1980s, when he managed two major marble and granite processing companies in Australia. Confronted with the challenges of safe slab lifting, he developed his first lifting clamp plate, securing a patent in early 1995. By 2002, he expanded operations to Vietnam, giving rise to the Aardwolf brand. Since then, the product line has evolved into a comprehensive range tailored to meet varying demands and budgets:
1. Wide-Jaw Designs (WJ series)
It is created with extra-wide jaws to securely handle thin and oversized materials.
2. Locking Latch with Roller (R series)
Feature mechanical locking latches combined with rollers for smooth lifting and perfect slab centering.
3. Automatic Lock Models (A series)
These gravity-operated lifters automatically lock without the need for rollers, streamlining operation.
4. Auto Lock with Roller (AR series)
Merging automatic locking with rollers support, they ensure precision alignment and safeguard slab edges.
Today, his commitment to continuous improvement lives on, as the company refines its lifting clamps for plates and expands its global presence.
