Abstract
A transport tool which is attachable to a hoist mechanism for a suspended access work platform permits the mechanism to be easily lifted and moved about on a job site. The transport tool attaches to the hoist mechanism and affords a place for a service crew member to easily lift the mechanism and carry it. The mechanism may thus be easily moved with less likelihood of dropping or damage, and also less risk of injury or strain in lifting or carrying it.
