Abstract
A device operable, by a user standing above the grade of a pipe, to install a hoisting strap around the pipe. A device body carries wheels and has an opening structured for installation onto the pipe at a mid-span location. The opening is reversably enlarged during installation of the device to permit entrance of the pipe into partially encircled engagement by the body. Typically, three or more wheels are biased by the body into rolling engagement on the pipe at the installed position. Once installed, the device captures an end of the hoisting strap, and carries the strap end under the pipe as the device is rotated about the pipe centerline. The strap end can then be removed from the device to sling the pipe in a conventional lifting arrangement. The device can be removed from the pipe by pulling the device to again expand the opening.
