Abstract
An apparatus to facilitate lifting and carrying wire handled buckets has a lifting harness and a lifting tray. The lifting harness includes a grip and a connector. The connector connects the grip to the lifting tray. The grip is tubular and comfortable to grasp. The lifting tray is semi-circular in shape and has a notch on one end and is attached to the connector at the other end. In one embodiment, the connector is a cable and is attached with crimp sleeve to the grip and a spherical fitting to the lifting tray. Both the grip and the lifting tray are made of plastic. A method of carrying wire handled buckets includes placing the bucket handle in the lifting tray and holding the lifting tray with one hand and grasping the grip in the other hand to allow both sides of the body to directly engage the bucket's weight.
