Today, we have the task of removing several substantial slabs of concrete that were previously installed to create a small back door patio for one of our valued customers. Over time, the customer has decided that these concrete slabs are no longer necessary, and as a result, we are tasked with hauling them away. The slabs are notably dense and heavy, which presents a challenge, but we are well-equipped to handle this type of job. To efficiently move these slabs, we will be utilizing our reliable mini skid steer, a versatile piece of machinery that excels in lifting and transporting heavy materials like concrete. This machine is specifically designed to handle such tasks with ease, ensuring that a job of this nature poses no significant problem for our skilled team.
For this particular job, the optimal attachment to use with our mini skid steer is the stump bucket. This specialized tool is not only effective for digging up tree stumps but is also incredibly useful for lifting and moving concrete slabs, as demonstrated in the video we have prepared. The stump bucket functions similarly to a wedge; it is engineered to slide between the concrete slab and the ground, allowing us to effectively separate the two. To put it in simpler terms, it resembles a Lego brick separator, which is designed to pry apart pieces that are tightly fitted together. Utilizing this attachment, we systematically lift the concrete slabs, one at a time. However, we encounter a challenge with some of the slabs being too wide to lift in a single motion. In these cases, we must carefully crack them in half, allowing us to stack the resulting pieces on top of each other so that they can fit securely onto our stump bucket. Once we have successfully lifted the slabs, we transport them over to our truck, ready for hauling away.
As we approach the final slab that we need to transport to our truck, we realize that it is L-shaped, which complicates matters significantly. This particular slab is not only large in size but also has an awkward shape that makes it difficult to maneuver. Initially, we attempt to lift and move it in one piece, but despite our best efforts, it slips off the stump bucket multiple times during the process. Recognizing that this approach is not yielding the desired results, we decide to try a different strategy. We carefully crack the L-shaped tile into smaller half-slabs, hoping that this will make them easier to manage. However, when we attempt to hoist the stack of half-slabs onto the stump bucket, we discover that it is still unbalanced, leading to yet another fall. After some deliberation, we conclude that the most effective method is to move one half-slab at a time. This approach proves successful, and we are finally able to get the L-shaped tile securely onto the bed of our truck. With this last piece loaded, we can proudly say that the job is complete. Our company boasts over twenty years of experience in the field and has earned a perfect five-star rating on Google, which speaks volumes about our commitment to customer satisfaction.
