Abstract: A warp beam transport and elevating carriage for twin warp beams is provided having a longitudinally extending shaft capable of rotation about its longitudinal axis, a plurality of gripper arms fixed to the shaft and extending downwardly to securely support twin warp beams at each end, and twin warp beams mounted for transport and elevation without danger of displacement or dislodgement. Two rods connected by a link joint with a connecting plug on one end of one rod are inserted into a central tube mounting the twin warp beams. The connecting plug is inserted into an aperture in the adjacent ends of each central tube of the twin warp beams and provides a secure gripping point for the central gripper arm.
