Ł76 for first day.
Upto 150kg
What's it attached* to?
There is the option for presumably a crane for repeated use, but if
you watch the video two blokes handle a slab quite easily. The vacuum
part is battery powered.
but that looks to me like a 600m flag - perhaps 75 kg.* If I'm right the
OP's slab is c. 360kg then it's going to need a lot more than 1 of those
lifters and 2 blokes.
Indeed - at that weight its more like shifting heavy machine tools in a
workshop. Lots of small movements with lots of leverage, and propping /
supporting at every stage.
