Stone fabricators and installers Tampa, Florida

Stone slab lifter rental in Tampa, FL.

Our yard is in Tampa, so a slab lifter for a Tampa install is the shortest trip we make. When the unit is on the yard you can have it the same day. One person sets the island, the wall, or the waterfall edge from a remote, and the slab never touches a shoulder.

Smartlift SL609 HLE RT vacuum lifter with four suction pads on a lifting frame

We know the Tampa stone job.

Four things that are true about this work here specifically.

Same-day, because we are here
Our yard is in Tampa. A morning call can be an afternoon set when the unit is available, and it is the lowest delivery on the board.
The slab yards are here too
Tampa has the slab warehouses and it has our yard. The machine can meet the slab at your shop or at the house.
Bungalow doors
Seminole Heights, Hyde Park, and the older South Tampa streets put a 3 cm island through a door that was never sized for it. The machine drives through at 32.7 in. Measure the clear opening.
Two-story waterfront
Davis Islands, Bayshore, and Harbour Island remodels put feature walls and slab showers upstairs. That is the job the machine is for, and the stairs are not the route.

What a Tampa shop is actually afraid of.

Not the weight. The three things that go wrong in a finished house.

The slab you cannot replaceA book-matched pair is weeks out. Drop one and you are explaining it to a client who chose the veining.
Somebody's backA four-person carry through a doorway is how a six-person shop loses a man for a month.
How it looksFour people shuffling stone past the furniture reads one way. One person walking it in on a remote reads like white glove.

The one question we ask.

What is the heaviest single piece, how high does it have to go, and how does it get into the building?

The piece: Weight and size of the heaviest single slab. The pads need a clean, sealed, non-porous face. Polished, honed, and leather all hold.
The height: 13 ft 11 in of lift. Capacity drops as the arm goes out, so tell us the reach as well as the weight.
The way in: 32.7 in to drive through, 5 ft 8 in to set the legs and work. Curb, steps, lawn, or elevator: tell us, and we bring the ramp or tell you it will not work.

Send a photo of the opening if it helps. We confirm the fit before you book, not after.

Will it hold your piece?

Find your material, check the weight. Both units handle everything on this list.

Stone at the sizes that cause trouble. Manufacturer figures where they publish one.
Material	Typical size	Weight	Fits
Porcelain slab, 6 mm	10 ft 6 x 5 ft 3	148 lb	Either unit
Porcelain slab, 12 mm	10 ft 6 x 5 ft 3	326 lb	Either unit
Porcelain slab, 20 mm	10 ft 6 x 5 ft 3	540 lb	Either unit
Large-format panel, 20 mm	10 ft 8 x 5 ft 4	578 lb	Either unit
Granite or quartzite, 3 cm	jumbo slab	about 1,090 lb	Either unit

Working out your own: 3 cm granite runs about 16.6 lb a square foot. Multiply your slab. Capacity depends on how far the arm has to reach, so send the weight and the distance and we will confirm the fit before you book.

The unit you’ll get.

Under 1,300 lb, the SL609 goes on the truck. Heavier, or a longer reach, and it is the SL1009.

When do you need it?

Which unit

What are you lifting?

The weight and size of your heaviest piece is what decides the machine. Tell us that and we will pick for you.

Or call (855) 677-7368

Tampa questions.

The five that come up on nearly every call.

How fast can you get a slab lifter to a Tampa job?

Same-day when the unit is on the yard, because the yard is here. Book ahead if your install date is fixed. It is a two-unit fleet and it moves around the state.

Will it set a full-height porcelain wall?

Yes. The yoke holds the slab vertical and one person lines it up with tilt, rotate, and side shift on the remote. It lifts to 13 ft 11 in. Tell us the panel weight and the reach and we will confirm the fit.

Can it get a 3 cm island into an older Tampa house?

It drives through at 32.7 in, so a standard 36-inch door clears. A 32-inch door does not. It needs 5 ft 8 in to set its legs down and work, so measure the kitchen as well as the door.

Do I need a trained operator?

No. Our driver walks your crew through the controls on drop-off, about twenty minutes. If you can drive a pallet jack, you can run a Smartlift.

Can I pick it up from the yard myself?

No. We handle every drop-off and pickup, and in Tampa that is the shortest run we make. The unit is on our insurance in transit and we would rather carry that risk.
