ABSTRACT:
A tank lifting attachment (10) is disclosed for allowing a tank, such as a wine press tank (12) to be lifted by a conventional lifting device (100) such as a crane or block and tackle. A center section (16) has a pair of inside grip plates (26) to abut the inner walls of the wine press tank (12). A first outside grip plate (28) and a second outside grip plate (42) are slidably affixed to the center section (16) such that the weight of the wine press tank (12) will cause a pair of under lip projections (38) affixed thereto to be secured under a portion of a lip (14) on the wine press tank (12). In an embodiment of the invention the tank lifting attachment (10) is secured to the lifting device (100) by a plurality of lifting straps (94).
