Abstract: An attachable handle for a rope including a rope attachment portion with a duct passing through the attachment portion. The duct holds the handle to the rope and the duct includes a first end having a first diameter to permit passage of a length of rope and a collar around the length of rope through the first end of the duct. A collar diameter is greater than the rope diameter. The duct also includes a second end opposite the first end with a second diameter larger than the rope diameter but smaller than the collar diameter. The second end permits passage of the rope through the second end but prevent passage of the length of rope containing the collar. At least one slot is provided running along at least a portion of a length of the duct. A handle portion extends from the rope attachment portion.

Abstract: A lifting apparatus including a horizontal framework having a connector connected to a bridge crane trolley and a motor mounted on the horizontal framework, a telescoping mast unit coupled to one side of the horizontal framework and having upper, middle, and lower mast assembly and adjusting a height of the lifting apparatus, a fork tine assembly adjusting the tine center to center distance, and a counterbalance coupled to the other side of the horizontal framework is provided. The horizontal framework is coupled to an overhead bridge crane and is accessible to any load located within a minimum amount of aisle space.

Abstract: A lifting apparatus including a horizontal framework, a pair of extension assemblies, a pair of upper, middle, and lower telescoping mast assemblies, and two pairs of fork tine assemblies is provided. Each pair of the extension assemblies, the telescoping mast assemblies, and the fork tine assemblies is identical to the other one in structure and function. The horizontal framework is coupled to an overhead bridge crane and is accessible to any load located within a minimum amount of aisle space.
