The concrete slabs used for drainage purpose are of heavy weight. Concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings. Concrete Slab Lifting Device (CSLD) makes it possible for an individual to lift these slabs without much effort. The device structure consists of four legs with wheels. For lifting mechanism L-shaped jaw attached to a hydraulic jack, through a vertical guide shaft is used. With the help of the lead screw arrangement provided with the jaw, the slab is gripped and with the help of a hydraulic jack the concrete slab is lifted and moved to the required place. It is very difficult to lift these slabs by an individual. Usually two or more number of workers are needed for drainage repair works. This increases the cost for repairing drainage systems. The Concrete Slab Lifting Device makes it possible for an individual to lift these slabs without much mechanical effort.
