  I've never used them myself but I don't see any reason why they wouldn't work. The only situation I could imagine where it might not work would be if the stone was textured, but if the stone is sawn flat then it will work.
  Out of interest why do yo you need to use one?

  Hi Stuart

  Amir recently added photos of him and his colleagues lifting large sawn stone with a suction lifter. Why not contact him?

  Hi Steve,
  I've 160 sqm of your beige polished to lay and just looking for the quickest/cleanest way to lay it.

  Hello Stuart
  Thanks for giving us that order, its much appreciated :)
  In all honesty the beige is only 25mm thick so it might just be easier to lay the traditional way. But if you do want to use the suction lifters then I can say with certainty that they will work on that product. If you need any more info just shout up

  Just used one like the one in the picture to lay some Caithness stone. Most of the slabs were 80mm + thick, coped fine even with a riven surface, can't say the same for the guys laying though!

  I know i'm late to the party. But yes they do, you need two glass lifters. And they are very good if you don't have good access and for cuts. But slower than just lifting straight in if that's an option.
