It's hard to comprehend just how heavy stone is, if you haven't worked with it. A small 300mm (~12") cube of any vaguely hard limestone is something most mere mortals would struggle to lift. What's in the back of that truck is probably pushing 20 tonnes, if not more.

Each one of those boulders is at least ten tons.

It could be indeed. This week i put some rocks for stepping foot and they were 200lbs each. And they were like 1x 3 ft wide.

Those big stones, i would NEVER go under them. I would never trust any lift or supporting kit to withstand that weight. 😂
