A lifting and securing device configured to support material and aid in moving the material to a desired height and location.

A lifting sling apparatus for lifting, holding, and transporting materials. More particularly, the invention relates to a lifting sling comprising a reinforced heavy-duty fabric body, such as, for example, a geotextile fabric, i.e., a synthetic fabric made from polypropylene, polyester, or other like synthetic materials, having heavy-duty sling webbing loops and reinforcement webbing on the body.

Aspects herein are directed to a clamp having a linkage coupled to a first end of a first and second clamp member. Based on applying a first directional force to the linkage, the linkage generates a force that moves the second ends of the first and second clamp member towards one another, thereby biasing the clamp to the closed position. The clamp secures a strap when the clamp is in the closed position and releases the strap when the clamp is in an open position.

A system to suspend, move, place, align and clamp upper and lower pipe fitting portions of a pipe fitting to each other around an existing pipe. The system includes an upper lift assembly configured to attach to an upper pipe fitting portion and a lower lift assembly configured to attach to a lower pipe fitting portion. The upper lift assembly is connectable to the lower lift assembly by a suspension arrangement such that when the suspension is attached to both the lower lift assembly and the upper lift assembly the upper and lower pipe fitting sections of a pipe fitting become aligned and pressed together.

This crane is provided with: a boom; a wire rope suspended down from a leading end section of the boom; a suspender that is fixed to a lower end of the wire rope and is for suspending a slinging tool for hanging a load; a calculation unit that calculates a first load, which is the weight of a member that is suspended down from the suspender; a slinging tool database unit that stores information pertaining to the slinging tool corresponding to the first load; a determination unit that determines whether a load is being suspended from the suspender; and a control unit that acquires the information pertaining to the slinging tool corresponding to the first load from the slinging tool database unit if the load is being suspended, and sets the vertical length of the slinging tool on the basis of the acquired information pertaining to the slinging tool.

A Multi-Armed Lifting Accessory is disclosed herein which is compact and transportable in various deployments. The Multi-Armed Lifting Accessory is advantageous and useful as it has hingedly connected loading and support arms attached to a main lifter body. The supporting arms are spring loaded allowing the Multi-Armed Lifting Accessory to stably engage with irregular shaped objects such as barge lid or a skid steer loader and allows for flexible engagement and balanced lifting operations.
