ABSTRACT:
A hoisting device includes a sling and first and second fork-pocket adaptors interconnected to the sling for engaging first and second fork pocket sets on opposite sides of a palletized structure. The first fork-pocket adaptor includes a first locking mechanism for mating with a corresponding locking feature of the first fork pocket set. In an exemplary embodiment, the first locking mechanism includes a retractable first engagement member at one end of the first fork-pocket adaptor for engaging a corresponding first locking feature of the first fork pocket set. The opposite end of the first fork-pocket adaptor includes a second locking mechanism with a second engagement member for engaging a corresponding second locking feature of the first fork pocket set.
