Lifting harness for lifting a load of two or more objects

摘要

A lifting harness for lifting of a load comprising two or more essentially cylindrical objects (1), e.g. rolls of paper, which are in an upright position. The lifting harness is formed by two lifting slings (3), the ends of which are fashioned into eyes (4), and two endless lifting loops (5), each of which is joined to a different one of the lifting slings (3) and threaded through the eyes (4) of the other lifting sling (3). The lifting slings (3) are applied around the load (1) from opposite sides so that the lifting loops (5) extend above the load and this section of the lifting loops is attached to a lifting hook (2). On lifting, the lifting slings (3) are tightened around the load.;Such a harness simplifies the loading and unloading of the load onto and off a vessel. The side of the lifting slings that will face towards the load may be fitted with a friction increasing covering or treated with a friction-increasing material.
