A system for lifting a load via a spreader bar includes a spreader bar and a swivel lug assembly. The swivel lug assembly includes an upper swivel, a lower swivel, and a load pin extending between a pair of load pin holes in the upper swivel and the lower swivel. The upper swivel is pivotable relative to the lower swivel about the load pin. The spreader bar includes two opposing sides each having a height, and spreader bar pin holes in each of the sides. The spreader bar pin holes are located at a midpoint of the height of each of the sides. The load pin is detachably attached to the first swivel lug assembly through the pair of load pin holes in the upper swivel and the lower swivel in order to releasably attach the swivel lug assembly to the spreader bar via two opposing spreader bar pin holes.

A modular spreader structure (10) for use in offshore lifts comprises a plurality of elongate tubular elements (26, 22) made primarily of composite material. Primary tubular elements (26) each comprise an axial coupler formation (28) for end-to-end coupling with a complementary axial coupler formation of another primary tubular element, aligned on a common longitudinal axis. The adjoining primary tubular elements are interengageable by longitudinal overlap between male and female axial coupler formations. Secondary tubular elements (22) each comprise a node connector (30) that is configured for attachment to the structure at an orientation inclined relative to the common longitudinal axis of the primary tubular elements. In particular, the secondary tubular elements can be attached to an outer surface of one of the primary tubular elements.

A system, method and apparatus for transferring bulk material for transport, the method includes placing a first quantity of bulk material in a soft-sided bulk material container, extending a first hold-in across the container from a first side of the container to a second location, the second location being substantially toward a second side of the container, wherein the first hold-in is secured to the first side of the container, securing the first hold-in to the second location and placing a second quantity of bulk material in the container, the second quantity covering the first hold-in and securing the first hold-in to the second location with a weight of the second quantity of bulk material.

A yoke for a pipe handling crane. The yoke includes a magazine having storage slots for tubular pipes, and a pipe lifting unit having a lifting tool. The lifting tool supplies a tubular pipe to and retrieves a tubular pipe from the magazine.

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 transport vehicle includes a base, wheels connected to the base, and load receiving elements. At least two of the wheels have a track width therebetween in each of a transverse drive and in a longitudinal drive. The track width in the longitudinal drive and the track width in the transverse drive are each variable. The transport vehicle is transports a load having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction between the wheels. The transport vehicle is drivable both in the transverse drive and in the longitudinal drive.

In a work machine suspension device, each of a plurality of retention devices includes a support member that is supported by a first leg portion main body so as to be movable between an entry allowed position and a retention position. The entry allowed position is a position where the support member retracts from a second leg portion main body to allow a retained portion to enter between the first leg portion main body and the second leg portion main body, and the retention position is a position where the retained portion is retained on the support member while the support member is supported by the first leg portion main body and the second leg portion main body.
