An adapter for releasably attaching a cable end having an end fitting to a frame of a hoist apparatus at an attachment opening of the frame includes a pair of longitudinal arms connected by a transverse bridge, an attachment portion coupled to the pair of arms and spaced longitudinally from the bridge, and a gate member. The bridge has inner and outer faces connected by a side face, a longitudinal cable passageway through the inner and outer faces, and a cable insertion slot communicating with the cable passageway, wherein the insertion slot is open through the inner, outer, and side faces. The gate member is received by the insertion slot, and is selectively removable from the slot to permit transversely directed insertion of a portion of the cable end through the slot into the cable passageway such that the end fitting is opposed by the inner face of the bridge.

Disclosed is a system and method for providing a steel structural support to bear the weight of one and/or multiple vertical pipe runs traveling down an extended length vertical shaft. The low profile support of the present invention requires minimal space for attachment inside the diameter of the shaft allowing for maximum space to accommodate hoisting and bulky lifts within the shafts. The system provides the means for supporting vertical pipe runs without the need for additional load bearing strapping or supports within the length of the shaft, further allowing for maximum clearance within the shaft and at the shaft collar.

A clamping device for connecting a first profile to a second profile that is suspended from a ceiling and runs transversely to the first profile, including a clamp with two shanks that can be adjusted relative to one another, each having a recess for receiving and fixing the first profile and each with an end section for being fixed to a section of the second profile, and having a screw element for moving the shanks toward one another. The clamping device allows a closing sheet with stops, which closing sheet cooperates with the shanks of the clamp.

A ceiling hanger includes: a first plate fixed to a ceiling surface; a second plate forming a first rotation axis in the up-down direction after fitted to the first plate, and allowing control in the horizontal direction; a third plate forming a second rotation axis in the front-rear direction after fitted to the second plate, and allowing control in the left-right direction; and a fourth plate fixing a projector, forming a third rotation axis in the left-right direction after fitted to the third plate, and allowing control in the up-down direction.

A plumbing bracket assembly has a plastic main bracket body and a telescoping bracket. The telescoping bracket runs through the main bracket body, and is able to extend to allow the bracket assembly to be secured to structure (such as studs) at both ends, over a range of distances between structure elements. The bracket body is initially able to slide along the telescoping bracket, for desired positioning, but may be locked in place using screws on the main bracket body. Hardware, such a hose clamp and multiple pipe clamps, is initially coupled to the main bracket body. The main bracket body may have a central depression for receiving a relatively large pipe run, and notches or depressions on opposite sides of the central depression, for receiving smaller pipe runs.

A connection device for suspending a monorail beam includes a top anchor integrated with or attachable to a roof bolt and a clamping device for connection to the monorail beam. The clamping device has a housing attachable to the monorail beam. The housing includes a central recess with an opening configured such that the top anchor is movable into and out of the central recess along a first axis through the opening. The clamping device has a plurality of locking members radially movable into and out of the central recess with respect to the first axis between an inner locking position in which the locking members prevent the top anchor from moving out of the central recess, and an outer open position in which the top anchor is free to move past the locking members, each respective locking member being provided in a respective radial guide recess of the housing.
