Abstract
Apparatus and method for lifting the top coil from a stack of coils. The apparatus includes a housing which is to be attached to the forks of the fork lift truck and a hook suspended from the housing wherein the hook is adapted to facilitate removal of a coil from a stack and its subsequent transport. The method involves the steps of offsetting a top coil from a stack of coils so as to position a portion of its inner core to overhang the cores of the remaining coils in the stack, and thereafter engaging such overhanging portion of the top coil to lift it from the stack and transport it to a desired location.
