ENGINEERING MILESTONE

The Original Abaco Stone Lifter

The original Abaco Stone Lifter marked the beginning of our engineering journey. Introduced in 1995, it was developed to solve one of the industry's biggest challenges—lifting and transporting heavy stone slabs safely, efficiently and with greater control.

Its simple yet effective design quickly earned the trust of stone fabricators and helped establish Abaco's reputation for practical engineering and dependable quality. More than just a product, it became the foundation of a philosophy that continues to guide our business today: designing equipment that solves real-world challenges and improves workplace safety.

That same engineering approach now extends across our complete range of material handling equipment, supporting professionals in the stone, glass, tiling, timber and steel industries with purpose-built solutions engineered for performance, reliability and long-term value.
