Detailed Product Brochures
Slab laying with vacuum technology
In comibination with the hydraulic vacuum laying unit HVE, the VM becomes a perfect slab laying machine. Even very large slabs with rough or porous surface are handled carefully and securely by the HVE.
Probst hydraulic installation clamp
In order to manually lay 80 sqm for 8 hours per day you need two hard-working paving installers. If you already have an excavator with the conventional two hydraulic circuits you just attach the Probst hydraulic installation clamp HVZ-uni ROBOGRIP. Therewith your excavator operator effortlessly lays 400 sqm of pavers per 8 hour day. This is 5 times more compared to the job the two workmen can deliver. The few steps for mounting the installation clamp to the excavator and the setting of the clamp according to the size of the layer considering tabular defaults do not carry any weight. The excavator operator paves from his driver’s seat automatically and in optimum laying quality. This overstrains neither the excavator driver nor the excavator nor the HVZ-uni ROBOGRIP.
Easy-Fill Paver Jointing Device
An enormously important part of paver installation is the filling of the joints with sand. Only when the joints are filled completely and durable with sand the pavement is stable for a long time. Functional loads are then distributed to a bigger surface, then the pavement is durable and stable for a long time.
Spreading Bucket
The ST 180 is a versatile bucket for different works. It can even distribute all kinds of spreading material up to a graining of 100 mm. Therefore this bucket distributes quickly and exactly also for example chipping, gravel, peat or topsoil.
Sweeping & Sand watering System
This design allows an individual configuration of equipment depending on the requirements. Basis equipment is the sweeping Machine KM-uni. It has top performance in filling joints with chipping or sand as well as in cleaning surfaces. For water flushing the KM-uni is completed with the Water Flushing Attachment ESV. In case water is not available from the hydrant via a water hose, a water tank can be quickly added to the base unit.
Slab & Block Cutters
Using the leverage of the adjustable excentrical lever, slabs and pavers can be split precisely and quickly. Different versions are available dependant on cutting length and cutting height. They come with a square blade, which is turned on its edge, giving you a total of 4 sharp cutting edges. The types AL 33/S and AL 43/S come with special segmental teeth, which allow you to cut clay bricks and natural stone.
Gutter Fix
Road construction requires sometimes installation of gutters along kerbs. Often times large paving blocks are installed in lean concrete to form this gutter. To do this, the lean concrete has to be screeded to a certain level, taking the top of the kerb stones as reference. The width of the screeded lean concrete depends on the width of the gutter. It is very time-consuming to do this screeding work to the correct level.
Easy Plan Screeding System
The Easy-Plan handscreeding system is a very smart tool for paver installers and landscaping contractors. With this very inexpensive Easy- Plan EP-uni system small and medium-sized sites can be screeded faster, easier and better. Telescopic adjustable to different widths of laying courses.
Telescopic Screeding System
No laying course forces you onto your knees any more – a well thought out technique saves time and energy! No more gruelling work. The new technique makes it possible. From a standing position a clean and accurate laying course can be done exactly and without any problem.
Paver Transport Cart
Even on small and middle-sized sites there are enormous cost benefits to be had in the transportation of construction materials. With use of a wheelbarrow the transport of paver blocks would be too strenuous and too expensive. Take the advantage of a thouroughly developed technology by means of this special paver transport cart VTK-V in order to save time, manpower and costs.
Vacuum Laying
The self-propelling slab laying Machine Jumbomobil is the ideal equipment for laying contractors who often have to surface large areas. Slabs of all kinds can be layed quickly and effortlessly with the JM. Thanks to the innovative technology, loads up to 200 kg in weight can be lifted, transported and layed with ease.
Vacuum Lifting Device
Time consuming lifting apparatus is a thing of the past. Using this Vacuum-Power-Pack, many of the most strenuous jobs can be done quickly and easily. According to Time and Motion studies, there is vast room for improvement in the transportation and laying of the heaviest slabs and building components. In the SH you have a multi-functional base unit for the most varied operations.
Vacuum Laying By Hand
With this new inexpensive hand laying tool all kinds of slabs can be layed quickly and above all, ergonomically. The powerful single phase (110/230 V) powered vacuum turbine also allows the
quick and safe handling of very porous material as well as material with exposed aggregate surface.
Machine Vacuum Laying
Every road-construction and landscaping-enterprise who wants to gain a margin under the difficult economic conditions must have a realistic look at the costs. With its efficient way of operating the vacuum slab laying machine Jumbomobil JM you save both, costs and human energy. The innovative technique makes it possible that one man can lift heaviest slabs (up to 200 kg) light as a feather with the JM. Without expenditure of energy he can transport weightlessly with the swivel arm and osition
and shift accurately within shortest time easily 300 sqm per day!
Vacuum Kerb Stone Laying
The easiest way to install kerb stones – this contribution to healthy working practices will pay for itself! Using our Kerb Stone Installation Machine you will be able to install the heaviest blocks of all types and sizes up to 150 kg effortlessly. Optimal logistics: Suction - Lifting - Laying are all completed in one manoeuvre. The complete pack of kerb stones is carried along and each one is placed straight away at the exact spot along the guide line. (Current time and motion studies confirm that there is enormous room for improvement in the transportation and installation laying process!). Using the Jumbo BV you can work economically all along the line.
Vacuum Hose Lifter JUMBO
Reduce costs by optimising flow of materials Extensive studies of working with natural stone show that there are still enormous savings to be made in the flow of materials. It has been established that the hoists currently in use are designed mainly for extremely heavy loads – yet approximately 90% of
natural stone products which need to be handled or moved are under 200 kg in weight. It follows, therefore, that the used crane systems – such as chains or cables – are too cumbersome, too slow and also extremely uneconomic. To speed up the working process, cost-intensive, heavy manual work is an accepted practice in many firms.
Block Loading Grabs
Packs of blocks are increasingly held together by steel straps rather than shrink-wrapped or on pallets. The advantages are clear: no need to move multi-way pallets backwards and forwards, no unneccessary waste on the building site. Probst has developed the best devices for this palletless
transportation. The mechanical Scissor Grab SG is ideal for the smooth transportation of large and varied packs of building blocks
Mechanical Grab

Easy, efficient handling With automatic release for fully automatic switch-over from „full“ to „empty“. High security due to experienced technology, i.e. rubber
metal bars as gripping elements. Powerful gripping force with an optimum care for the construction elements. Quickly equipped with its lifting eye the mechanical grab FTZ-uni 15 can be attached to a crane hook of a wheel loader, excavator or crane. The required opening width can be adjusted within seconds by two spring loaded bolts.
Rock Clamp
The innovative Rock Clamp SQZ enables the landscaping gardener to transport and unload square ashlar rocks to create massive dry retaining walls without difficulties. By a crane hook the SQZ can be attached to cranes, excavators or wheel loaders. Gigantic stones up to a weight of 1.000 kg
are moved securely and precisely. With the adjustable opening width from 20 to 88 cm it is possible to grip rocks of very different formates. The SQZ is strong, favourable in price and easy to handle. Its powerful gripping force guarantees the highest working security.
