    Suction Cup for Pulling Out Paving Cobblestones SNAKE

    Suction Cup for Pulling Out Paving Cobblestones SNAKE

    Pull out a damaged cobblestone quickly, cleanly, and without dismantling the entire surface.

    SNAKE is a vacuum suction cup for pulling out individual paving cobblestones and concrete slabs. It was designed as a practical tool for paving companies, maintenance companies, and service crews. The device allows you to remove a selected element without levering it up, without disturbing neighboring cobblestones, and without dismantling a larger section of surface. Thanks to this, the repair is faster, more precise, and less risky for the finished surface. One person is enough to operate it, and the device itself is lightweight, handy, and ready to work within moments.

      Key advantages

      ikona-check

      Removing a single paver block without prying

      SNAKE grips the element from above using vacuum suction, so there's no need to use crowbars, hooks, or prying tools. The result: less risk of chipping the paver block and damaging neighboring elements.

      Repairs without dismantling the surface

      The device allows you to remove only the single paver block or slab that needs to be replaced or corrected. The result: shorter working time and fewer corrections after the repair is completed.

      Operated by a single person

      No larger crew or complicated setup is needed for the job. The result: you complete minor repairs, touch-ups, and service work faster.

      Clean and precise work

      The element is removed without loosening a larger section of the surface. The result: it's easier to preserve the aesthetics and original layout of the paving.

      Possibility of reusing the paver block

      If the removed element is undamaged, it can be re-installed after repairing the substructure. The result: the surface retains a uniform color and there's no need to source a matching new paver block.

      For what is SNAKE used for?

      SNAKE is used for pulling out paving cobblestones and concrete surface elements during:
      • replacement of damaged cobblestones,
      • warranty repairs,
      • maintenance work,
      • surface corrections,
      • repairs after subgrade settling,
      • replacement of individual concrete slabs.
      This tool comes in handy wherever a specific element needs to be removed, but there's no point in dismantling a larger section of finished surface.

      How does the SNAKE paving cobblestone suction cup work?

      Operating the device is simple. The operator attaches the lifter to the cobblestone, starts the vacuum pump, and then pulls the element out of the surface. There's no need to first loosen the joints, lever up the cobblestone, or dismantle neighboring elements. This is especially important when repairing finished driveways, sidewalks, terraces, squares, and surfaces that need to remain aesthetic after the work is completed.

      Who is SNAKE for?

      Paving Companies

      For quick corrections, warranty repairs, and replacement of individual cobblestones without dismantling a larger surface area.

      Maintenance and Service Companies

      For ongoing repairs of paving cobblestone, concrete slab, and sidewalk element surfaces.

      Property and Area Managers

      For repairs in squares, parking lots, sidewalks, pedestrian walkways, and areas around buildings.

      Why is it worth using SNAKE when repairing paving cobblestones?

      With traditional cobblestone removal, it's easy to damage neighboring elements or loosen a section of surface that doesn't need repair. SNAKE limits this problem, because it allows you to work selectively - only on the element that needs to be removed. Thanks to this, the repair is faster, cleaner, and more predictable. This is especially important on surfaces that are already in use and need to look just as good after the repair.

      Safety and Compliance

      SNAKE meets the requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, the PN-EN 13155 standard, and bears the CE marking. The device is intended exclusively for pulling out paving cobblestones and similar surface elements. It is not designed for lifting or carrying loads.
