Abstract |
A support is described permitting the safe storage of large-size natural stone slabs used by stone cutters. It combines A-frames with stanchions. In addition, two safe gripping and lifting devices for large stone slabs are described which are attached to fork-lift trucks. They do not require workers to move in front of the slabs for locking and unlocking the load. The support and the lifting devices introduce safety features lacking in the past as documented by severe accidents described in the article. |
