A hoisting assembly for lifting a load into an attic or lowering a load therefrom includes a hoist. The hoist comprises a housing, which has a drum or a lift wheel engaged thereto and positioned in an interior space defined thereby. A suspension module is engaged to and extends from an upper end of the housing. The suspension module can selectively engage a beam so that the housing is suspended from and removably engaged to the beam. A lifting medium is operationally engaged to the drum or the lift wheel and extends from a lower end of the housing. A connector is engaged to the lifting medium distal from the housing. The connector can selectively engage a load so that the load is removably engaged to the lifting medium. The hoist thus is configured to lift the load.

A hoist cage assembly for lifting a pallet with a crane includes a cage that has a bottom end that is open for positioning around a pallet of material. The cage has a plurality of bar openings each extending through the cage. A plurality of bars is each of the bars is slidable through a respective pair of the bar openings to extend through the pallet when the cage is lowered over the pallet. Each of the bars rests on the cage when the cage is lifted to lift the pallet when the cage is lifted. A plurality of sleeves is each of the sleeves is coupled to the cage and the sleeves are strategically arranged on the cage thereby facilitating each of the bars to be slidably stored in the plurality of sleeves.

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.

A controller may obtain, from one or more first devices of a first machine, first information regarding a load associated with a first portion of an object. The first portion, of the object, may be carried by an implement of the first machine and a second portion, of the object, may be carried by an implement of a second machine. The controller may obtain, from one or more second devices of the first machine, second information regarding an orientation of the first machine. The controller may determine, based on the first information and a threshold derived based on the second information, that a load drop condition is satisfied; perform a first action associated with dropping the load; and transmit, to the second machine, information regarding the first action to cause the second machine to perform a second action.

A net includes at least two ropes (2, 4), at least one mesh, wherein at least one corner of a mesh is formed by a knot (15) formed by two of the ropes (2, 4). The knot includes a first and a second opening (6, 8) in the first rope (2) through which the second rope (4) passes, and a first opening (10) in the second rope (4) through which the first rope (2) passes. A part of the first rope (2) is being positioned in the first opening (10) in the second rope (4) being in between the first and second opening (6, 8) of the first rope (2).

A portable hoist assembly that includes a base structure with fastening means that can be engaged and disengaged to secure the hoist assembly on various anchoring structures. The portable hoist assembly can be control using a control unit that can also monitor the operation of the hoist assembly and thus ensuring safe operation.
