What happens here

Once the vacuum lifter has securely gripped the paver slab, both workers grasp the handles of the machine. They coordinate their efforts to carefully lift the heavy slab off the ground. Maintaining a balanced grip on the handles, they then walk in unison, guiding the suspended slab towards its intended installation location on the prepared sub-base. The yellow hose connected to the machine suggests it's either an air line for a pneumatic vacuum system or an electrical cable for a battery-operated vacuum pump, which trails behind them as they move, requiring awareness to avoid tripping.

Goal: Move the paver slab from the staging area to the installation point.
