At times, a slab needs to be removed in large pieces, or several pre-poured slabs need to be moved into place. That’ s where the slab bucket comes in. With large, thin, pointed fingers, the slab bucket is easily able to slide under the slab and lift it into position to be moved.
Mixing and Pouring
Once all the demo and cleanup is done, then comes the fun part: mixing and pouring the concrete. And, yes, there are numerous sizes and configurations of attachments available for this part of the project— one to fit almost any type of job.
There are small bowl mixers that look just like the kind you get at the rental yard. Perfect for smaller jobs or for pouring a number of post holes. For larger jobs, you might opt for the mix-and-go style of mixer. Resembling a skid steer bucket with a heavyduty grate, this big boy can hold over three cubic feet of material and has a side gate for pouring. All the ingredients can be scooped up in the bucket, and after adding water, they will mix while travelling to the pour site.
To mix on a grand scale, consider using a Mobile Mud Hog or similar machine. It holds a whopping 20 cubic feet and has a side chute which is ideal for pouring long runs of post holes
