Twister MSS03

Remote-Controlled Motorized Rotation Device

The Aardwolf Twister MSS03 is a heavy-duty, motorized, remote-controlled rotation device designed for two primary applications.

First, it integrates seamlessly with the range of Aardwolf slab lifting clamps (Aardwolf Lifters). Its slim inline profile matches the narrow body of the lifter, allowing both units to operate efficiently in confined spaces. This setup enables operators to remotely rotate the lifting clamp so its jaws can be precisely aligned with the slab before engagement, making slab retrieval from storage racks faster and easier.

Second, once a load has been secured and lifted, the Twister MSS03 provides smooth and accurate rotational control for positioning stone slabs, glass panels, and other heavy industrial materials.

With a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 2,646 lbs, the unit delivers smooth 360° bi-directional rotation through radio-frequency remote control. This removes the need for workers to manually guide suspended loads within hazardous fall zones and allows a single operator to safely control rotation directly from a forklift or crane cab.

TISE 2026 Best Technology Award Winner

The Twister MSS03 was recognized at The International Surface Event (TISE) Best of Awards, receiving the prestigious Best Technology Award.

Recognized by industry professionals for its contribution to workplace safety, material-handling automation, and operational efficiency, the Twister MSS03 represents a major advancement in modern slab-handling technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the Twister MSS03 reduce labor costs?

A: Traditional slab handling often requires a crane or forklift operator along with additional ground personnel to manually orient and stabilize the load. The Twister MSS03 automates the rotation process through remote control, allowing a single operator to lift, rotate, and position the load without additional assistance. This helps reduce labor costs while improving workflow efficiency and productivity.

Q: How does the Twister MSS03 improve safety during slab handling?

A: Using a radio-frequency remote control with a range of up to 148 ft, operators can:

• Rotate and align the lifting clamp with the slab before engagement
• Rotate and accurately position slabs during installation or storage

These operations can be performed while the operator remains outside hazardous fall zones, significantly improving workplace safety.

Q: How does the design maintain load stability?

A: The Twister MSS03 features a compact inline design with a centrally positioned rotation axis. When used with Aardwolf slab lifters or vacuum lifting equipment, the load remains aligned directly beneath the lifting point, minimizing side loading and off-center forces. This improves stability and provides more precise load control, even in restricted working areas.

Q: Is Aardwolf USA an authorized distributor of the Twister MSS03?

A: Yes. Aardwolf USA is an authorized distributor of genuine Aardwolf lifting and material-handling equipment. The company supplies the Twister MSS03 with factory-backed warranty support, genuine replacement batteries, and technical assistance for customers throughout the United States.
