Versa Block Clamp AVBC-1100

Overview

The Aardwolf AVBC-600 is a multi-purpose lifting clamp for blocks and irregular loads, designed to handle concrete blocks, stone, drums, rubber tires, and various material shapes in construction and industrial environments.

With a 100–680 mm grip range and a 1200 kg working load limit (WLL), this adjustable block lifting clamp is suitable for medium-sized materials requiring flexible and controlled lifting.

Unlike application-specific clamps, the AVBC-600 is built for versatility, allowing it to adapt to different load sizes and shapes through its adjustable and reversible clamping system.

How It Works

The clamp is connected to a crane or lifting system via the central lifting eye.

The sliding clamp arms are adjusted to match the load size and secured using the cam lock mechanism to maintain proper alignment. During lifting, the gravity-controlled locking system automatically engages to secure the load.

Once the load is fully lowered, the clamp releases automatically for efficient removal.

Key Features

Flexible grip range (100–680 mm):

Supports a wide range of material sizes

Gravity-controlled automatic locking:

Engages during lifting and releases after set-down

Adjustable sliding clamp arms:

Allows accurate positioning for different load dimensions

Cam lock positioning system:

Secures clamp arms firmly during operation

Reversible clamp jaws (internal / external gripping):

Enables handling from inside or outside the load

Replaceable high-friction rubber-lined pads:

Provide reliable grip while minimising surface marking

Heavy-duty steel construction:

Designed for durability in site and industrial conditions

Applications

• Handling concrete blocks, stone, and masonry units
• Lifting drums, rubber tires, and cylindrical objects
• General material handling in warehouses and construction sites
• Multi-purpose lifting across different load shapes

Usage Notes

• Ensure the load is fully seated within the clamp jaws before lifting
• Do not use on wet, oily, or contaminated surfaces
• Do not exceed the rated load capacity
• Lift one load at a time only
• Inspect clamp arms, pads, and locking mechanisms before use
• Keep clear of suspended loads at all times

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials is the AVBC-600 suitable for?

It is designed for concrete blocks, stone, drums, rubber tires, and various load shapes within the rated capacity.

What makes the AVBC-600 different from standard clamps?

The AVBC-600 features reversible clamp jaws (internal and external gripping) and an adjustable grip range, allowing it to handle a wider variety of material sizes and shapes compared to standard lifting clamps.

What ensures safe and stable lifting?

Safe lifting depends on proper load positioning within the clamp jaws and clean, dry contact surfaces to maintain consistent performance.
