Monument Clamp GPM1000

Overview

The Aardwolf GPM1000A is an automatic monument clamp designed for lifting and positioning stone, concrete, and finished materials.

With a 20–300 mm grip range and a 1000 kg working load limit (WLL), this automatic stone lifting clamp for headstones and slabs is suitable for applications such as installing headstones, granite pieces, and other solid materials.

How It Works

The clamp is connected to a lifting device and positioned onto the load.

The jaws are adjusted to match the material size. During lifting, the gravity-controlled locking system automatically engages, and releases once the load is set down.

Key Features

• Automatic clamping mechanism: Engages during lifting and releases after set-down
• Grip range (20–300 mm): Suitable for common stone and slab thicknesses
• Gravity-controlled locking system: Opens when resting and closes when lifted
• Adjustable jaws: Allows setup for different material sizes
• Rubber-lined jaws: Provide grip while helping protect surfaces

Applications

• Lifting and installing headstones and stone elements
• Handling granite and finished stone materials
• Positioning concrete and slab components

Usage Notes

• Ensure the load is fully inserted into the clamp jaws before lifting
• Do not exceed the rated load capacity
• Do not use on wet or contaminated surfaces (may reduce grip)
• Keep clear of suspended loads at all times
