Abstract
Submersible turbine pump lid lifting aid Steel collapsible crane-type mechanical lifting aid, comprised of a winch, swing-away boom, and interchangeable adaptors for different styles of lids (used primarily to open STP lids on service station forecourts). Manual (not electric), hand operated, simple to assemble/disassemble in seconds, compact to stow, collapsible, and lightweight. Connects to any standard 50mm vehicle towbar for ease of use, eliminating physical exertion in awkward or unsafe lifts. Adaptable to a wide range of different uses, this lifting aid is a revolutionary new design in technology, improving the safety for workers within the petroleum and many other industries.
