What happens here

To move the large, heavy stone safely and efficiently, a Bobcat (skid steer) equipped with forks is used. The operator carefully approaches the stone and lifts it from the pallet. This method demonstrates how heavy machinery can make light work of tasks that would otherwise be impossible or dangerous by hand.

Goal: Transport a heavy stone to the project site.

Tools and materials

  • Bobcat — Lifting and transporting heavy stones
  • Forks — Securely lifting the stone
  • Large Natural Stone — The heavy item being transported
  • Pallet — Supporting the stone for easy lifting by forks

What they say

Sometimes you got to sneak in from the underside right there. I can't see crap. Neither can you. But we're both blind. >> So there are times when you're unloading one pallet off another pallet just like this. You basically are completely blind. This is your view. Nice. Rock and roll, baby. All right. Well, I can't drive down the load with my tail end that heavy, so [Music] for that load.
