A cantilever hoist device lifts a load in a spatially limited environment includes a support column having a proximal end and a distal end), wherein the proximal end secures the support column in an upright position. Moreover, the device includes an elongated, stiff, and rigid cantilever arm hingedly mounted at the distal end. Additionally, the device includes a drive unit arranged to displace the load towards or away from the cantilever arm using a lifting medium passing one or more pulleys. The drive unit includes a winding body onto which the lifting medium is rollable to displace the load. The drive unit is mounted at the distal end of the support column.

System, apparatus, device, kit, method and associated technique for safely and securely lifting wall and other structures to a vertical position. An electronic winch device that when connected to an end of a wall structure lifts the structure. A keeper or catchment such that when the electronic winch has hoisted the wall structure to a substantially vertical position, catches and keeps the wall structure in place, allowing the technician to more properly secure the wall structure. The apparatuses are also designed for portability and collapsibility, with structural members telescoping inside one another to minimize size in transport but securely configurable when extended and locked into place.

This invention relates generally to a method for making a deck for use in construction. In one embodiment, the method includes, but is not limited to, positioning a first box tube substantially parallel to a second box tube; attaching a plate to the first box tube and the second box tube, the plate extending between the first box tube and the second box tube; coupling a hydraulic cylinder to the plate; slidably inserting a first extension member at least partially into the first box tube; slidably inserting a second extension member at least partially into the second box tube, the first and second extension members having a beam extending therebetween; coupling the hydraulic cylinder to the beam; positioning a platform having one or more wheels on the plate and over the hydraulic cylinder such that the platform is rollable relative to the plate; attaching the platform to the beam such that the platform is operable to retractably extend beyond an edge of a floor of a building in conjunction with the first and second extension members in response to actuation of the at least one hydraulic cylinder; and forming a rectangular cuboid basket comprised of six faces with a connecting mechanism on a top face.

Disclosed embodiments provide an accelerated construction technique that is well-suited for concrete steel-reinforced buildings. As construction of a building continues, and new floors are built, cutouts in each floor are formed that are vertically aligned with each other to form a multi-floor channel. A climbing hydraulic piston system is installed in the multi-floor channel. The hydraulic piston system lifts a mobile, slab-based mini crane. The climbing hydraulic piston system elevates the crane to a sufficient height to build the next floor slab. Then the crane is lowered onto the slab to be used for construction activities on that floor. The process can be repeated as needed until the final level of the building is constructed. The climbing hydraulic piston systems is then removed from the channel and lowered to the ground by the crane. The crane is then disassembled and removed via the building freight elevator.
