I'd start with a jackhammer and make ten 80 pound slabs out of it.
Good PostI'd use chain, not cable. Edges of concrete slab may cut individual cable strands.
On this old farm, which used to use horse power, I found a number of 4" diameter dowels about 4 feet long, which I believe were placed under heavy objects. As the heavy object was moved off of one dowel, it was place in front of the heavy object, to be used again in the move. Probably 3 or 4 dowels at any one time under the heavy object.
If you have a centered hook on your FEL, I think you'd not have a worry about torqueing something. Chain that slab. You may not be able to lift it, but you can diminish the weight on the ground as you drag it to the new location.
Why is it used in concrete bridge construction? Is it just to make cleanup easier after the bridge collapses?rebar and mesh only keep the broken pieces together AFTER the slab breaks.
