Remote-Controlled Motorized Rotation Device

The Aardwolf Twister MSS03 is a heavy-duty, motorized, remote-controlled rotation device engineered for safe and efficient handling of stone slabs, glass panels, and other heavy industrial materials.

Designed specifically to integrate with the full range of Aardwolf slab lifting clamps, the Twister MSS03 features a slim inline profile that aligns perfectly with the narrow body of the lifter. This allows both units to operate efficiently in confined spaces while enabling operators to remotely rotate and align the clamp jaws with the slab before engagement. The result is faster, safer, and more precise slab retrieval from storage racks and processing areas.

Once the load has been secured and lifted, the Twister MSS03 provides smooth and accurate rotational control for positioning slabs during transport, fabrication, installation, or storage operations.

With a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 1,200 kg (2,646 lbs), the unit delivers reliable 360° bi-directional rotation through a radio-frequency remote-control system. Operators can safely control suspended loads directly from a forklift or crane cabin without requiring ground personnel to manually guide the load inside hazardous fall zones.

TISE 2026 Best Technology Award Winner

The Twister MSS03 was recognised at The International Surface Event (TISE) Best of Awards, receiving the prestigious Best Technology Award for its innovation in slab-handling technology.

The award highlights the system’s contribution to:

• Workplace safety
• Material-handling automation
• Operational efficiency
• Modern industrial lifting solutions

Key Features & Benefits

One-Person Remote Operation

The Twister MSS03 enables a single operator to remotely lift, rotate, and position heavy slabs safely from a forklift or crane cab. This reduces labour requirements while improving workflow efficiency and productivity.

Smooth 360° Rotation

The motorized system delivers controlled bi-directional rotation for accurate slab alignment and positioning during lifting and installation operations.

Enhanced Workplace Safety

By eliminating the need for workers to manually push, pull, or guide suspended loads, the Twister MSS03 significantly reduces exposure to hazardous fall zones and minimises operational risk.

Long-Duration Battery System

Powered by a reliable 24 V DC motor and clip-in rechargeable battery system, the unit can operate continuously for up to 12 hours on a single charge.

Seamless Compatibility

Engineered specifically for use with Aardwolf slab lifters and vacuum lifting equipment, creating a highly efficient integrated lifting and positioning solution.

Compact & Heavy-Duty Design

The slim inline configuration and robust bearing system provide reliable performance in confined factory environments and demanding outdoor job sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Twister MSS03 reduce labour costs?

Traditional slab handling often requires both a crane or forklift operator and additional ground personnel to manually stabilise and orient the load. The Twister MSS03 automates the rotation process via remote control, allowing one operator to safely lift, rotate, and position the load independently, reducing labour costs and improving operational efficiency.

How does the Twister MSS03 improve workplace safety?

Using a radio-frequency remote control with a range of up to 45 metres (148 ft), operators can remotely:

• Align the lifting clamp before engagement
• Rotate slabs during transport or installation
• Position loads accurately while remaining outside hazardous zones

This greatly reduces the risk associated with suspended load handling.

How does the design maintain load stability?

The Twister MSS03 features a centrally aligned rotation axis within a compact inline design. When paired with Aardwolf slab lifters or vacuum lifters, the load remains positioned directly beneath the lifting point, minimising side loading and improving stability during rotation.
