ABSTRACT:
A lifting device is used for live or practice ammunition, for which the device comprises a number of gripping elements. The gripping elements are made with a number of elements extending from the frame of the lifting device. The elements form pairs of elements that can be allotted each to its shell during the lifting. The elements are rotatably supported around their longitudinal axes in the frame and at their free ends have widened sections extending in one direction. The elements are rotatable to first rotation positions where the respective pair of elements from the side can be moved over a round of ammunition. In second rotation positions the respective pair of elements encloses its shell with the aid of the widened sections and secures the shell against movement in the transversal direction. At the respective pair of elements there is also arranged a holding trough which is rotatably supported via its back section in the frame so that its parts directed towards the sections in the pair of elements in question carry out a displacing movement towards the sections. Also a lifting hook is included, which in one embodiment is connected with the holding troughs via a linkage system so that the rotary movements and positions of the holding troughs in relation to the sections of the elements are controlled with the aid of the own weight of the shells and the lifting device.
