  • Patent number: 4802813
    Abstract: An elongated metal apparatus which comprises at least one longitudinal gripping member and preferably a pair of longitudinal gripping members in spaced apart relationship, which are anchored to a slab of concrete and can be used in conjunction with a forklift to physically lift and move the slab of concrete to another location to thereby expose the area beneath the concrete. The apparatus enables a user to remove a section of concrete without the necessity of breaking up and discarding the section of concrete and having to subsequently re-pour the concrete. The apparatus includes a central tunnel or channel for receiving a fork of a forklift, a pair of side members which permit the apparatus to be affixed to the concrete using anchor bolts, and a pair of covering members which cover the area of the anchor bolts to prevent then from flying out and injuring someone if one or more of the anchor bolts should shear loose during the lifting or moving process.
