Hi has anyone ever used a probst VPH 150 slab lifter. I have a job to do using 3x2 council flags that are very heavy. Not sure if they make the job easier and they are very expensive. I have the chance to get one at a very good price, if you google them you will see what I mean, thanks Tony.

These should be mandatory for anyone laying flagstones on a regular basis. I would probably still be able to walk properly if we'd had affordable vacuum lifts 20-30 years ago.
If any contractors out there have a few hundred quid to invest in their business, don't waste it on embroidered T-Shirts - buy a VPH150* and your back/legs/hands will thank you for years to come.
* Other models/makes are available.
