ABSTRACT:
A tree clamp, for use with a forklift truck for lifting and supporting the ball of a tree, includes a pair of essentially rigid plate members for disposition one each adjacent opposite sides of the ball. Each one of a pair of flexible connecting chains is attached at one side edge near the bottom of each plate member, and is extendable about the ball and connectable with the opposing side of the other plate member. The connecting chains are adjustable in length and cooperate with the plate members to encircle the ball. A pair of brackets is detachably mounted one on each of the forks of the lift truck, and has a hook suspended thereof. Each hook is adapted to engage with a length of chain connected with and extending along the top side edge of each plate member, whereby the plate members and the tree may be lifted and supported.
