Glass Lifter AL30AWJH

Overview

The Aardwolf AL30AWJH is an automatic glass lifter designed for the vertical lifting and transport of flat glass panels from 0–30 mm thick. It is well suited to glass fabrication facilities, rack storage systems, warehouses, and installation projects that regularly handle large or heavy glass panels.

Its wide jaws provide a broad contact area, while the slim-profile body allows the lifter to access glass stored closely together in narrow racks. Integrated side support arms help keep the panel upright and reduce unwanted movement during lifting, transport, and positioning.

The automatic gripping and release mechanism simplifies repetitive lifting cycles. With a 1200 kg Working Load Limit, the AL30AWJH provides a reliable mechanical solution for use with cranes or forklifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the AL30AWJH suitable for glass rack systems?

Its slim-profile body allows the lifter to access glass panels stored close together in narrow racks. The positioning rollers help guide the lifter into place without requiring a large working gap.

What is the purpose of the side support arms?

The support arms help keep the glass upright, reduce lateral movement, and improve control during transport and positioning.

How do the wide jaws improve glass handling?

The wide jaws provide a larger contact area, helping transmit gripping force more evenly and reduce concentrated pressure on a small section of the glass.

What warranty is provided with the AL30AWJH?

The AL30AWJH is covered by a 2-year limited warranty, subject to Aardwolf’s warranty terms and conditions.
