ABSTRACT:
A gripping device for lifting and depositing slabs which are disposed on one edge thereof in an upright position is mounted in a mobile crane which is displaceable across a plurality of such slabs and comprises a row of support rods which are vertically displaceable in unison and each of which is provided at its lower end with a support member which is selectively rotatable into a position in which, when the rods are lowered into a position adjacent one side of a slab, the support member engages under the lower edge of the slab, and into another position in which it is disengaged from the said edge; furthermore a gravity operated holder member is provided which comes into engagement with the upper edge of the slab while the support rods are being lowered, and secures the slab against tilting during lifting and conveyance thereof.
