Disclosed is a connection fixture capable of attaching without the use of bolts to a substantially planar structure having a plurality of vertical holes therein to be lifted to facilitate the lifting thereof. In one embodiment, the connection fixture includes first and second bracket portions capable of interlocking with one another and securely holding the substantially planar structure. In the interlocked position, the connection fixture has a pair of generally C shaped lips which surround the edges of the substantially planar structure, a pin which engages a vertical hole in the substantially planar structure, and a pair of aligned transverse holes. A shackle can be secured through the aligned transverse holes in the connection fixture.
