ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for use on a ship having in its hull a stowage with a multiplicity of cells in a latticework arrangement and each having an opening in a deck for individually stowing elongated heavy articles in a vertical position. The apparatus is adapted to insert the articles into the respective stowage cells and comprises a lower structure having a pair of opposed carriages guidable respectively on a pair of rails extending in parallel to each other and disposed on the deck outwardly of the respective opposite sides of the stowage, and an upper structure supported by the lower structure pivotally movably upward and downward and having a horizontal beam extending transversely of the ship, and a slider slidably mounted on the beam. A boom connected to the slider has a pair of guide arms for guiding and holding the article and is positionable horizontally along the direction of travel of the carriage and also vertically by the pivotal movement of the upper structure. The boom has a lift device for suspending the article.
