Note: Three alternatives for attaching the Aardwolf Lifters to the forklift boom:
- Combo Swivel, Chain, Lifting Lug. Allows flex between the boom and load. Prevents slab breakage when traversing rough terrain. It also allows the lifter to be lowered down into confined spaces, such as when lifting a short slab from a racking system.
- Forged Aluminium Swivel Shackle. A compact swivel shackle that attaches directly to the forklift boom and Aardwolf lifting clamp. Gives operators maximum lift within a shipping container.
- Bow Shackle 3.0T. General-purpose. Useful in many applications for safe and secure attachments.
