A CONCRETE SLAB REMOVAL BUCKET FOR BRIDGE DECK AND CONCRETE PAVEMENT REMOVAL PROJECTS.
Slab Crabs are the solution for concrete slab removal. The NEW design, released in 2020, features serrated teeth for the absolute toughest grip. They range in bucket widths from 36 to 54 inches. All standard models are manufactured to process slabs ranging from 4″ to 12″ thick and will fit 40,000 – 150,000 pound excavators. Certain standard models also of this concrete bucket for excavators offer larger openings for thicker slabs such as the Slab Crab 42″ Wide Mouth that handles up to 16″ slabs and the 54″ Standard that handles up to 21″.
The process of using the slab removal bucket is quite simple. The existing concrete will need to be cut into smaller, more manageable pieces for concrete slab removal. The size of these pieces are limited only by the lifting ability of this concrete removal attachment as each bucket is built to withstand its unique weight class. At this point, the concrete slab demolition quickly becomes a one man job. Just slide the teeth under the pavement and tilt up. This action will cause the pavement to break off cleanly at the cut. The slab can then be lifted and placed directly onto the bed of a waiting truck or stacked out of the way. There is no debris cleanup and the subbase of the crab bucket doesn’t get damaged.

American Bridge Company is renovating the Peace Bridge across the Niagara River between Canada and the United States. The Kenco Slab Crab has allowed us to remove about fifty 5′ x 6′ deck slabs during each night shift operation.
We are very pleased with our purchase of the Slab Crab. At times we use it everyday. It works great on sidewalks and driveways. Removing bridge decks is now a one-man job compared to a 2 to 3 man job. The Slab Crab gives me an advantage over the other contractors.
