Re-set small concrete drive slab

A small slab in our concrete drive has subsided, dropping cleanly at the expansion cuts. The slab is a right angle triangle with the hypotenuse against the lawn. It measures 2.3mx1.3m and hypotenuse at 2.6m - this is a straight line whereas it is slightly convex into the lawn. Thickness estimated at 100mm to say 125mm. According to a concrete weight estimator calculation, it weighs around 400kgs. The drive was laid in 2011. The drive has easy gentle slope access off the street. I figure the fix is to lift and remove the slab a short distance, and place GAP7 as a support base level to restore the level. The underground clay will be well and truly shrunken and hard upon which to place the GAP7. Also to ram by hand GAP7 under the adjoining part of the drive to provide support if hollowing exists - it is possible this adjoining part of the drive that the slab has dropped from is hollowed out underneath to a small extent. I seek someone/business with the right type of small mobile excavator and/or lifter that minimises damage to the lawn and has a wide enough spread across the lifting bucket to prevent the lifted slab from breaking especially at the narrow end. I can provide the GAP7 and handle the placement, levelling and ramming while the slab is held in a raised position away from the placement spot.
