A slab lifter is a lifting tool that grips or vacuum-holds paving slabs, kerbs and stone so you can lift and place them without manual handling. GAP Hire Solutions' slab lifter hire range sits within our wider stone handling category. Vacuum slab lifter hire is ideal for flat stone: choose a 150kg safe working load (SWL) vacuum slab lifter for two-person paving work, or a 2,500kg SWL model with vacuum gauge and pressure relief valve for large slabs placed by excavator or crane. The battery-powered SM1200 Stone Magnet lifts up to 1,200kg, while the Stone Magnet Trolley and Wheel Kit Trolley move loads up to 150kg at ground level. For kerbs, steps and blocks, mechanical tools do the job without power, including manual kerb lifters, mechanical kerb stone grippers, concrete step grabs from 200kg to 1,500kg, a full-pallet block grab, gully grabs and hooks, crane forks and brick and block carts. Stone handling equipment is used to lay paving slabs, flags, kerbs, steps and gully pots without the strain and injury risk of lifting heavy stone by hand. Landscapers, groundworkers, and highways and paving contractors hire slab lifters to lay faster and more safely. Slab lifter hire is available from GAP Hire Solutions' nationwide depot network with fast delivery.
