Had to bring out the Paver Sucker 3000 for these big slabs!

What happens here

With the vacuum lifting system ready, position the suction plate squarely over the top surface of the paver you intend to lift. Ensure the paver's surface is clean and free of excessive dirt, gravel, or moisture that could compromise the vacuum seal. Once the plate is centered, lower the lifting frame so the suction plate makes full contact with the paver. Activate the vacuum pump (usually a switch on the backpack unit or the frame). You will hear the vacuum engage and feel the plate firmly grip the paver. Before lifting, give a gentle tug to confirm the paver is securely attached.

Goal: Securely attach the vacuum lifter to a paver and lift it from its stack.
