Using a jackhammer or hydrohammer is a common method used by demolition contractors all over the world. When deciding to use a jackhammer for your next job, keep in mind that it could be very time consuming and labor intensive. Many locations are not suitable for a jackhammer due to noise, debris and vibration restrictions.

Pallet forks (whether on a skid steer or fork lift) are a common solution to lifting slabs out of the ground. Unfortunately many people try to balance the slab on the forks that creates a dangerous balancing act. It’s important to use some kind of rigging that securely connects the slab to the forks. Forks are easily damaged and can launch debris under pressure.

Using concrete anchors on pre-sawn slabs of concrete can be the safest and fastest way to remove concrete. Unfortunately, most anchors are expensive and cannot be removed after the slab has been lifted. Load capacity of the anchor has to be determined by the operator by observing the integrity of the concrete.
