Machinery Forum lifting heavy objects [ Expand ] [ View Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Return to Forum ] Posted by Bill H. on March 21, 2002 at 08:13:41 from (192.9.25.21): I'm thinking about building a patio or floor for a gazebo with a single granite slab. They are easily available in my area. I calculate it could weight 4,000 lbs and think a regular backhoe is limited to maybe 1,500. Would a large front-end loader or excavator be able to move this (something I can rent) or should I call a crane service ? I can borrow a flatbed trailer or rent a uhaul auto carrier so I'd only lift it off the trailer and place it on the ground.
