An under the hook lifting device configured to lift an object is provided. The lifting device includes a boom having a first end and a second end, and a strap having a length extending downwardly from the first end of the boom, where the strap is configured to be secured to an object. A winch is positioned on the boom, where the winch is configured to adjust the length of the strap extending downwardly from the first end of the boom. The lifting device also includes a counterweight extending downwardly from the second end of the boom, and a trolley positioned at the second end of the boom, where the trolley is slidable along the boom. The counterweight is supported by and movable with the trolley, where the position of the trolley along the boom is movable to maintain a substantially horizontal position of the boom. Methods of lifting an object with a lifting device are also provided.

A hoist for lifting at least a portion of a gas engine assembly includes a support member including an upper portion, a lower portion, and a connecting portion extending therebetween. The hoist also includes an elongate member coupled to the lower portion of the support member and extending substantially orthogonally to the lower portion, and at least one bracket slidably engaged with the elongate member and axially translatable along a length of the elongate member. In addition, the hoist includes a plurality of linkage members coupled to the at least one bracket, where each linkage member of the plurality of linkage members is configured to attach to at least a portion of the gas engine assembly.

A device comprising a weldment having an upper beam, a vertical beam, and a lower beam, wherein the upper beam further comprises at least two lifting eyes and at least one crane hook, and the lower beam further comprises a plurality of swivel-hoist rings and a plurality of forklift pockets, and wherein the lower beam is a length minimally required to locate a structure laterally underneath an upper level of a platform having an upper level and a lower level.

The present invention relates to a machine for handling suspended loads, particularly loads of elongated dimensions, such as tubes, tube bundles, or the like.

A lifting fixture comprises a lifting affordance slidingly coupled to an upper horizontal beam assembly, a lower assembly comprising two spaced-apart horizontal beams defining an intervening gap, and a substantially vertical structural assembly connecting a first end of the upper beam assembly to a first end of the lower assembly. The horizontal beams include arrays of threaded holes for receiving various adapter plates. The first horizontal beam assembly comprises a motor driving a power threaded lead screw engaged to a lifting affordance such as a lifting eye. The motor may be controlled by wireless remote control. The lifting fixture allows lifting of an object stored beneath an overhead obstruction to be manipulated using a crane whose lifting axis is offset to the side of the overhead obstruction.

The arm with two or more hooks 1 comprises: a supporting beam 1) designed to be connected to an operating arm 20 of a telehandler 2 or another self-propelled operating machine and a plurality of hooks 11, 12, 13, distributed along the beam 10, each designed for supporting a respective load. One or more hooks 11, 12, 13 are connected to a load sensor 31, 32, 33.

A balanced cantilevered feeding apparatus for coupling with a jib, and a complementary method for its operation, configured to facilitate depositing and removing of a load through an opening in a building. The apparatus includes two spaced apart upright hoisting assemblies disposed on the jib, and a fly beam hoisted, balanced, and selectively positioned along a lateral axis by the two hoisting assemblies. A load securing member is mounted on a cantilevered extension portion of the fly beam, wherein the member extends beyond one of the two hoisting assemblies toward the building, and a counterweight is connected to the fly beam in the vicinity of another of the two hoisting assemblies.

The present invention relates to a lifting beam for lifting a load from a first level to a second level when used with a hoisting mechanism, said lifting beam comprising: (a) an elongated beam; (b) an attachment member secured to said top portion of said elongated beam, said attachment member adapted to permit attachment of said elongated beam to said hoisting mechanism; (c) at least one movable load attachment mechanism, for attaching a load to said beam, where said movable load attachment mechanism can move said load forward towards said front side of said elongated beam; and (d) at least one front leg, wherein said lifting beam is inserted into said second level and wherein said front leg is set for balancing the front end of said elongated beam when said at least one load is moved forward towards said front side of said elongated beam.

The present application includes a compressor having a cylinder forming a compression chamber in which gas is compressed, a housing having a peripheral wall forming an internal space in which the compressor is stored, and a supporting member situated above the compressor in the internal space. The peripheral wall includes an opening wall in which a carry-out port is formed through which the cylinder is carried out. The supporting member extends to guide movement of a first lifting device between a position above the compressor and a position above the carry-out port. The cylinder is hung from the first lifting device.

Described herein is a lifting beam system and method for using the same. The lifting beam system includes an elongate platform, a block, and a first and second cable for suspending the elongate platform from the block. The block for connecting the lifting beam system to a lifting device. The length of the second cable extending between the elongate platform and the block being adjustable by a winch. By adjusting the length of the second cable, the elongate platform may be leveled after a load is applied to one end of the elongate platform.
