- If you have an uneven concrete sidewalk, or you simply want to remove a piece of it this technique of jacking up a concrete slab works well and is efficient!
Required Material:
2 car jacks
2 C clamps
2 chains
2 chain connectors
1 4x4 (the one in the video was 8 ft long)
1 shovel
You just saved me $460. Wanted to move the base of a concrete fountain. Guys wanted to charge me $500 to do it. $40 pallet jack rental and it’s done! Thanks!
I don't have this exact problem but you've really given me a great idea for that project! Thanks
Thanks for this. Saved me a lot of $ fixing a walkway!!!
Glad it helped!
I had no idea c clamps were so tough! Thanks for the video
Thank you! 🧡👊🏻🇨🇦
Ok you lifted it. So now what? How do you remove it?
Genius! I love it. A great use of physics.
Liked how you sped up the video , trucks in the background sounded like the Jetsons. Also good tutorial.
Thank you. I’m trying to raise my patio pad as it’s pitching much more after twenty three years. The concrete itself is in excellent condition. I want to raise it ever so slightly. Thank if anyone knows how. Cheers
EASY PEASY...THANK YOU FROM PA
Clever. I like it!
Engine lift can be use
What size chains are those
Now what? How did you move that big chunk of concrete to get rid of it?
Break it up into chunks if you are trying to move it. I ended up just putting dirt under it to level it out.
I would slide some 2x4s or 2x6s under the slab, then slide 2 dollies under the 2x4s, one on each side, next to the slab. Then roll the whole slab out of the way!
Great idea ❤. Thanks
My concrete slap for my air conditioning unit started to warp into the dirt and the front part drifted into the dirt.
super thanks
good video. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
What did you use to do that beside clamps
Chains, 4x4 , pallet jacks.(scissor jacks , floor jacks , bike jacks and hydraulic jacks can all work as well)
Also some bricks to place the car jacks on
If you’re going to copy someone else’s video exactly the same as they did, at least give them the credit for the original idea back in 2012. Better still, there’s actually no need for you to show the exact same thing when it’s already been done.
Finally, since you’re throwing the concrete away, just bust it up with a sledge hammer to begin with. No point lifting it in one mass!
Thanks for watching 👍
Easier just to break it up.
