“I’ll never let go, Jack.”

What happens here

Once the vacuum lifter is correctly positioned, the operator activates the machine, which creates a powerful vacuum seal between the suction pad and the paving slab. The slab is now securely attached. The two workers then collaboratively lift the heavy slab from its initial position on the ground. They carefully maneuver the slab, using the handles on the vacuum lifter, to transport it across the prepared base to its designated spot within the paved area. This method allows for controlled movement of large and cumbersome slabs.

Goal: Safely and efficiently move the paving slab to its intended installation location.
