Abstract
A device for lifting and manipulating hot trays, principally aluminum foil containers for food products, is constructed with a substantially tubular, insulating handle, and a pair of cranked tines projecting from the forward end of the handle. The separation between the tines, corresponding to the lateral dimension of the tray to be lifted, is adjustable by means of radial slots machined around the periphery of a bezel in the forward end of the handle and by allowing for the radial displacement of one, or both, of the cranked tines in the handle into engagement with a particular slot.
