Abstract: A lifting bracket for a lifting assembly to lift a cylindrical object having an annular flange with a plurality of spaced-apart holes formed therein using a lifting device is provided. The bracket includes a flange attachment piece having at least one adjustable hole assembly for aligning with at least one hole of said plurality of spaced-apart holes on the flange such that the bracket may be used to lift objects having spaced-apart holes of varying distances. The bracket also includes a hoist ring for receiving a wire rope and a swivel device having a hoist ring connection loop. The swivel device freely rotates about a pin and the hoist ring freely pivots when the object is being lifted from a horizontal position to a vertical position.
