ABSTRACT:
A grouping of elongated objects such as logs are supported in a pair of elongated wire slings that are releasably attached to an overhead frame. When loading logs onto ships, the overhead frame is attached to the ship's gear for use. For loading, the frame is lowered and a load of logs is surrounded at spaced apart locations with the wire slings. At each end of a wire sling is an eye which is secured within a releasable hook mounted in pairs on the frame. A sliding snap hook fixed to one eye of each sling is hooked to the opposite eye so as to form a continuous sling about the logs. The load is then lifted into the ship and placed after which the releasable hooks release the continuous wire slings allowing the load of logs to conform to the volume where it is placed. The slings remain in place about the logs during the voyage.
