Vacuum Lifter for Concrete Slabs FROG 600
Lay heavy elements faster, more precisely, and without damage.
FROG is a vacuum lifter for concrete slabs, kerbs, and prefabricated elements with a mass of up to 600 kg. It was designed for precise laying of heavy elements, especially where aesthetics, load control, and free access to the side edges matter. The vacuum lifter works from above, so there's no need to use straps, hooks, or side clamps around the element. Thanks to this, slabs can be laid precisely next to each other, without risking edge damage during lifting. The FROG series includes three configurations: FROG 600, FROG 600 MINI, and FROG TOWER for more demanding, permeable materials.

Key advantages
Joint-free laying of concrete slabs
The vacuum grip from above eliminates straps and clamps along the sides of the load. All edges remain accessible, allowing precise, aesthetic laying of elements without leaving gaps.
Faster installation of concrete elements
Suction and release of the load takes about 1 second, which significantly shortens the installation time for each slab.
Fewer people and higher efficiency
Just 1 operator and a lifting machine are enough for the job — no manual rigging of slings is required.
Precise element positioning — tilt up to 45°
The ability to tilt the load (in a configuration with a beam) makes it easier to accurately position precast elements at the installation site.
No damage to slab edges
Vacuum lifting limits point pressure on the slab surface, so the slabs are not damaged.

Application of the FROG vacuum lifter
FROG 600, FROG 600 MINI, and FROG TOWER prove useful for installing concrete elements that require precise placement and edge protection. Typical Applications:- concrete, terrace, and paving slabs,
- concrete prefabricated elements up to 600 kg,
- stairs and steps,
- kerbs,
- small architecture elements,
- parking and road slabs,
- temporary access slabs,
- jobs requiring precise placement of elements next to one another.
Vacuum lifter for concrete slabs — what does FROG deliver on the construction site?
Damage-Free Slab Laying
Gripping from above leaves the side edges free, so the element can be precisely fitted right up against the next slab. Result: easier "edge-to-edge" laying.Faster Element Installation
Gripping and releasing the load takes about 1 second. Result: shorter working time per slab and more efficient installation of repeatable elements.Fewer People per Element
A crane operator and an appropriately selected lifter are enough. Result: less manual sling holding, strap adjusting, and physical work involved in loading.Precise Precast Element Positioning
The option to tilt the element up to 45° facilitates its placement at the installation site. Result: greater control over the position of the slab, kerb, or step.Slab Edge Protection
FROG doesn't enclose the element with straps or side clamps. Result: lower risk of chipping, scratches, and visible edge damage.How does FROG work?
FROG grips the element from above using a vacuum turbine. Once sufficient negative pressure is achieved, the operator can lift the slab, carry it, and lay it at the destination location. This way of working is especially useful with concrete slabs and prefabricated elements that can't be conveniently encircled with straps or that must be laid right next to each other. Depending on the chosen configuration, the device can be powered from the mains, a generator, a battery, or a 3 × 230 V supply in the TOWER version.FROG — for precise laying of heavy slabs
FROG is a solution for companies that lay heavy concrete slabs, kerbs, steps, and prefabricated elements, while wanting to limit manual strap work, adjustments, and the risk of damage. Thanks to various configurations, you can choose a device suited to typical concrete slabs, lighter installation jobs, or materials with greater permeability.
Frequently asked questions
Does the FROG vacuum lifter allow joint-free laying of slabs?
Yes. The top grip leaves the side edges free, allowing the slabs to be precisely fitted together.
What's the difference between FROG 600 and FROG 600 MINI?
Both models have a lifting capacity of up to 600 kg, but they differ in weight and size. FROG 600 MINI is lighter and more convenient where a compact design matters.
When should I choose FROG TOWER?
FROG TOWER is designed for materials with higher permeability. It uses a configuration with three turbines and 3 × 230 V power supply.
Can FROG be battery-powered?
Yes, in the appropriate configuration with E-Mickey.
Can I test the FROG lifter before purchasing?
Yes. A test on the construction site or equipment rental is possible.
What safety standard does FROG meet?
FROG lifters are designed in accordance with the EN 13155 standard.
