That is very impressive. I have a couple of these and have never lifted anything heavier that a 24" x 48" piece of porcelain which is about 90 lbs. Nice to know the unit works on pieces that are much heavier.
Those straps were included with the original Grabo but as the tool has evolved they no longer are included. Here is a link to the product on our website - lurveys.com/retail/product/nemo-grabo-pro-portable-electric-vacuum-lifter/
great just a little design flaw with the release button very close and you can accidently bump it while carrying a heavy object and then possibly having the item fall on your feet...
What kind of weight did you get up to? I was recommended by a local dealer to avoid it for dry cast products all together but it would be great even for some of the slabs that come in paver / slab combo packages
Individual pavers or wall block that is smooth are the heaviest that we tried. It wasn't consistently able to hold those. It really can't create the seal on dry cast pavers.
I actually bought it and have tested it with dry cast through mix and facemix. It didn't work for me for through mix unilock or techo bloc, but works for facemix (e.g. unilock beacon hill, techbloc HD series).
