Abstract
A movable lifting cradle having two longitudinal beams at one end of each of which a vertical extension is fixed which carries at its top a holding bar. The bar is carried by a bar-carrying assembly having a fixed base on which is mounted, to pivot with a predetermined angular displacement about a transverse axis, a pivotable assembly of which the bar forms a part, the base being provided with members adapted to block the pivoting of the pivotable assembly in a first configuration in which the bar is at a first distance in front of a crossbeam of the lifting cradle and at a first height relative to the longitudinal beams, and in a second configuration in which the bar is at a second distance in front and at a second height, the first distance and height conforming to a first standard and the second distance and height conforming to a second standard.
