Concrete Sleeper Clamp

Overview

The Aardwolf AHLC-2220C1 Concrete Sleeper Grab is a heavy-duty, wide-span mechanical lifting attachment designed to lift and transport three precast concrete sections simultaneously, particularly railway concrete sleepers. Its extended steel frame and contact pad assemblies at both ends allow it to handle concrete sections of varying lengths and appropriately sized stone blocks. When lifting stone blocks, the maximum permitted length variation is 5 mm.

With a grip range of 1800–2220 mm and a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 1000 kg, the AHLC-2220C1 is suitable for handling grouped concrete elements and stone blocks in precast concrete manufacturing facilities, storage yards and construction sites.

How It Works

The AHLC-2220C1 is connected to a crane or overhead lifting system through its central lifting eye.

Before lifting, the jaw opening is adjusted to suit the dimensions of the grouped materials, ensuring that the contact pads are correctly positioned against the load.

As the lifting equipment raises the clamp, the lever mechanism generates clamping pressure against the material. Friction between the contact pads and the load maintains the grip during lifting and movement.

Once the load is fully lowered onto a stable supporting surface, the automatic locking and release mechanism allows the clamp to disengage for the next lifting cycle.
