The Aardwolf Heavy - Duty Stone Grapple is an amazing attachment. It's perfect for handling, moving, and loading stones, rocks, and other large, oddly - shaped objects onto trucks or industrial vehicles. This grapple has three arms designed to lift rocks and stones steadily, even heavy and irregular boulders. The 3 - point design enables a quick and secure lift, allowing a single operator to move large objects safely and easily. It doesn't need hydraulics to operate. The fully automatic lifting tongs give the operator full control to grip or release loads. The three serrated tines contacting the load ensure a stable lift every time. When the operator lowers it onto a boulder, the internally housed actuator starts the lifting process. After setting the boulder down, the actuator lets the operator lift the grapple for the next cycle. Its features include a 3 - point design, the ability to lift irregular objects or debris, fast load cycles, and a large jaw opening for picking up big boulders. Specifications: Working load limit is 2000 kg (4408 lb), grip range is 350 - 1200 mm (14' - 47'), net weight is 158 kg (348 lb), gross weight is 176 kg (388 lb), and packaging dimensions are L.1100xW.620xH.400 mm (43.3'x24.4'x15.7').
Using the Aardwolf Heavy - Duty Stone Grapple is easy. First, position the grapple over the object you want to lift. Lower it until the serrated tines touch the load. The internally housed actuator will start the lifting process when you begin to lift the grapple. Once you've moved the object to the desired location, set it down gently. Then, use the actuator to lift the grapple off the object for the next lift. Remember, the working load limit is 2000 kg, so don't try to lift anything heavier. Check the grip range to make sure the object fits within 350 - 1200 mm. For maintenance, keep the grapple clean after each use. Check the serrated tines for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, get it repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
