Abstract: A lifting apparatus (10) for a pulley (12), the apparatus (10) including: a first beam section (14) adapted to couple to the pulley (12) in a fitted condition; and a second beam section (16) connected to the first beam section (14) in a spaced apart relationship extending parallel to the first beam section (14). The second beam section (16) includes a lifting arrangement (20) including a pair of lift couplings (22) and a plurality of notches (24), the pair of lift couplings (22) being moveable between a first condition in which each one of the pair of lift couplings (22) are able to be moved between the plurality of notches (24), and a second condition in which each one of the pair of lift couplings (22) is substantially retained in a respective one of the plurality of notches (24). A related method of use is also disclosed.
