(54) Lifting apparatus


(57) A lifting apparatus comprises a first member (23) having an elongate slot therein and a second member (26) spaced from the first member. A support column (25) extends between the first and second members so as to maintain the first and second members in spaced relationship. First and second securing members (28) are slidably mounted in the slot in the first member on opposite sides of the support column. The securing members include in the region of one end thereof means (33) for engaging with a member (2) to be lifted. The securing members also include in the region of the other end thereof means (31) for engaging with the first member (23). The securing members further include means (29, 30) for adjusting an effective length of the securing member so as to urge the member (2) to be lifted against an underside of the second member (26), the second member being adapted to engage with the member to be lifted between the first and second securing members and in a region beyond each of the securing members.
