Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2358012A] Apparatus for the positioning of a load 1 comprises a support 2 having a bearing surface 15, an elongate, movable carrier member 16 postionable to bear on the said bearing surface 15 with load-engagement means 19 thereof projecting beyond the said load-bearing surface and means 21 for counteracting the turning moment acting on the carrier member 16 when carrying the said load 1 by the said load-engagement means 19, whereby the position of the said load 1 is adjustable by varying the position of the carrier member 16 on the said bearing surface. The load may be a building cladding panel and the means 19 a pin therefor. Preferably the counteracting means is a further support 21 loosely trapping the carrier 19. Fine adjustment of the height of the load is provided for by telescopic legs 8 and a jack 5 on the support 2. Preferably, the support(s) are carried on a boom or scissors lift to enable lifting or lowering. The apparatus can be used in pairs (Fig 2) and spare panels can be carried adjacent the apparatus (Fig 3). The load can be manually placed on the engaging means or raised thereto (Figs 4-6).
