Abstract: First and second cap members, each cap substantially cylindrical in shape and of an interior diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the ends of a section of drill casing. The cap members are open ended at a first end and are sealed via a bottom on a second end, for defining an annular space there within for slipping on to the end portions of a section of casing. There is further provided a lifting lug along the length of the wall of the cap member, the lifting lug including a bore through its body for attaching a length of steel cable therethrough, each lifting lug and steel cable attached thereto forming the lifting assembly of the second ends of the cable attached to a common line for lifting. Each cap member would further include a handle portion extending from the end plate of the cap along its side wall attached to the lifting lug for defining a means for manually lifting the cap and positioning each cap upon the end portion of the section of casing.
