Abstract
Method and apparatus for lifting and removing substrate, such as a cut section from an underlying concrete slab. A plate assembly has a planar support plate and a u-shaped support bracket extending therefrom. The support plate is placed onto the section to be removed. The support bracket has adjoining first, second and third web portions to define an interior channel above the support plate. First and second apertures extend through the support plate on opposing sides of the support bracket and are used to secure the support plate to the cut section using attachment mechanisms such as anchor bolts. A lifting mechanism such as a fork lift inserts a fork through the interior channel to lift the plate assembly and cut section. The interior channel may be contoured to facilitate centering of the fork during lifting and movement of the plate assembly and the cut section.
