You can hire them from www.hss.com for £100 per week they are called vacuum slab lifter.

I would rather have a vacuum slab lifter....Its never late for work, its not lazy, never whinges about money, doesn't want paying for days off or holidays, and you can kick it as hard as you want and swear at it without getting the police or its mother or father involved.... see my point.

would a suction slab lifter work on tiles stuck down with adhesive..?...:smilewinkgrin:

 

[amandapercy17]

the floor is concrete and the limestone tiles are on top of that.....

 

[doug boardley]

are they stuck down amanda or placed down, also what size are they? The more info you can give us, the more and better we can advise

If they are stuck down you wont remove them without breaking them.

if your liftinh an existing tiled floor i would use an sds drill/gun with a tile lifting chisel attatchment

I use a milwaukee kango with a 70mm tile removal chisel and it can lift tiles with ease,
it is a dusty job though Amanda.
