Double Barrier Lifter ADBL-2000

Overview

The Aardwolf ADBL-2000 is a double barrier lifter designed for lifting and transporting long and heavy materials such as concrete barriers, granite slabs, and sandstone blocks in a safe and efficient manner.

The contact surfaces are protected by rubber-lined jaws, helping improve grip while reducing the risk of surface damage during lifting operations.

With a 155–250 mm grip range and a 2000 kg working load limit (WLL), this concrete barrier lifting clamp is suitable for standard barrier handling applications, especially where load balance is critical.

How It Works

The lifter is attached to a crane and lowered onto the material. When positioned, the jaws open to allow proper placement. As lifting begins, the gravity-controlled mechanism engages, causing the clamp to automatically grip and hold the load securely during lifting and transport. Once the load is set down, the system releases automatically without manual intervention.

Key Features

• Automatic gravity-controlled clamping system: Clamps during lifting and releases when lowered
• Vulcanized rubber pads: Increase friction and protect material surfaces
• Protective rubber-lined bar: Reduces edge chipping and surface damage
• Guide legs for stability: Help balance long loads and support accurate positioning

Applications

• Lifting and transporting concrete barriers
• Handling long granite slabs and sandstone blocks
• Moving long and heavy materials on construction and infrastructure sites

Usage Notes

• Ensure the load is fully inserted into the clamp before lifting
• Do not exceed the rated load capacity
• Keep contact surfaces clean and dry to maintain proper grip
• Do not lift wet or contaminated materials
• Ensure the material is free from cracks or structural defects
• Never stand under a suspended load
• Operate only by trained personnel following safety guidelines

Frequently Asked Questions

What should be checked before lifting?

Ensure the load is within the rated capacity, fits the grip range, and that the contact surfaces are clean and free from contaminants.

What type of materials is the ADBL-2000 suitable for?

This double barrier lifter is suitable for long, rigid materials such as concrete barriers, granite slabs, and sandstone blocks.

What makes the ADBL-2000 different from standard barrier lifters?

The ADBL-2000 uses a double clamp design with guide legs, providing improved balance and stability when lifting long or heavy materials.
