Abstract
A lifting device for a pallet comprising a rigid lower L-shaped lifting frame having a pair of lower rigid legs for inserting within openings in a pallet having a load thereon. The L-shaped lifting frame includes upwardly extending back frame members extending upwardly from the lower lifting legs. A pair of cables are connected to the back frame members and another pair of cables are connected to the free ends of the lower lifting legs. For connecting the lifting device onto the pallet, the front cables connected to the free ends of the legs are disconnected so that the legs may be inserted within openings in the pallet with free ends of the legs extending from the pallet. Then, the front cables are reconnected to the lifting legs for lifting of the pallet and load thereon.
