does anyone know of an attachment for a mini digger that will grab these heavy slabs and allow me to lay a long straight path.
Bearing in mind they will be laid so the path is 900 wide, therefore they need to be grabbed on the long side.

Where can I hire such a tool if available?

thanks

Could you use the same technique as for kerbstones, and use binding straps?

the only problem with that is that you still have to lift the slab to get the straps underneath, and there is a risk of the slab slipping if it is not spaced evenly.
