Battery Vacuum Lifter ABVLP5-1000

Overview

The Aardwolf ABVLP5-1000 is a battery-powered stone slab vacuum lifter designed for lifting, transporting, and installing granite, marble, engineered quartz, sintered stone, porcelain, and ceramic slabs in stone fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and construction projects.

Powered by a 12V battery-operated vacuum system, the ABVLP5-1000 works independently without requiring an external air compressor or compressed air supply. This allows for greater mobility, faster setup, and easier operation across different work areas.

The lifter features five adjustable suction pads that distribute vacuum force evenly across the slab surface, improving stability when handling large-format stone. Each suction pad can be rotated and repositioned along the frame to accommodate a wide variety of slab sizes, shapes, and lifting requirements.

The ABVLP5-1000 also incorporates dual operating controls on both the handle and the machine body, a 0–90° pneumatic tilting mechanism, an integrated vacuum reservoir, and audible and visual low-vacuum alarms, helping operators lift and position heavy stone safely, accurately, and efficiently.

How It Works

Position the suction pads on the stone slab and adjust their locations to match the slab size and center of gravity. Once activated, the vacuum system securely grips the slab throughout the lifting and transport process.

During handling, the 0–90° tilting mechanism allows the slab to be rotated smoothly between horizontal and vertical positions for easier transportation and installation. Operators can control the lifting functions using either the controls on the handle or the control panel mounted on the machine.

After the slab has been safely positioned on a stable surface, release the vacuum to detach the lifter and prepare it for the next lifting operation.

Key Features

• Battery-powered vacuum system: Operates on a 12V battery without requiring an external air compressor or compressed air supply.
• 0–90° tilting mechanism: Rotates slabs smoothly between horizontal and vertical positions.
• High lifting capacity: Rated for 1,000 kg horizontal and 500 kg vertical lifting.
• Dual control system: Controls are available on both the operating handle and the machine body.
• Five suction pad configuration: Five vacuum pads provide stable, even load distribution for large slabs.
• Adjustable and rotatable suction pads: Suction pads can be rotated and repositioned to suit different slab sizes and shapes.
• Extendable and retractable operating handle: The handle extends and retracts to provide a comfortable working distance.
• Integrated vacuum reservoir: Helps maintain vacuum pressure during brief interruptions.
• Audible and visual warning system: Alerts the operator when vacuum pressure drops below the safe level.
• Integrated parking stand: Keeps the lifter upright during storage and helps protect the suction pads.

Applications

• Lifting and transporting granite slabs
• Handling marble slabs
• Moving engineered quartz slabs
• Lifting sintered stone slabs
• Handling porcelain slabs
• Transporting ceramic slabs
• Stone fabrication workshops
• Countertop manufacturing
• Wall cladding installation
• Construction and architectural stone installation

Key Benefits

• Reduce labor requirements: Move and install large stone slabs with fewer workers compared to manual handling methods.
• Increase installation efficiency: The self-contained battery-powered vacuum system and adjustable suction pads reduce setup time and simplify slab positioning.
• Minimize slab damage: Five evenly distributed suction pads help reduce the risk of edge chipping, corner damage, and slab movement during lifting.
• Improve productivity: Enables faster and safer handling of large-format stone slabs, supporting higher productivity in fabrication shops and installation projects.
• Adapt to different slab sizes: Adjustable, rotatable suction pads allow one vacuum lifter to accommodate a wide range of stone dimensions and applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the ABVLP5-1000 require an external air compressor?

No. The ABVLP5-1000 uses a 12V battery-powered vacuum system, so it operates independently without requiring an external air compressor or compressed air supply.

What is the warranty period?

The ABVLP5-1000 is backed by a 24-month manufacturer’s warranty covering manufacturing defects in accordance with Aardwolf's warranty policy.

What types of stone can the ABVLP5-1000 handle?

The lifter is designed for granite, marble, engineered quartz, sintered stone, porcelain, and ceramic slabs with surfaces suitable for vacuum lifting.

What should be checked before each lift?

Before every lifting operation, inspect the suction pads, vacuum system, warning indicators, and ensure the slab weight and dimensions are within the specified working load limit and operating range.
