<p>A handling member 10 for transporting and storing a construction article 44 such as a roll of lead or other roofing material having an internal cavity 46, comprises an elongate body 12 and includes a coupling member 18 and retaining member 28 and is insertable through internal cavity 46. Retaining member 28 includes a plurality of retaining portions that define retaining element 30 and further defines a recess portion (34, figure 1) defined by a chord (36, figure 1) to permit insertion of the coupling member 18. Retaining element 30 resists toppling and may be of different shapes such as square, rectangle or oval and may extend radially beyond the external diameter of construction article 44. A lifting member 72 couples with the first handling member 10 and includes lifting member body 74 which defines operative portions 76, 78 and coupling member 80. An Intermediate coupler 84 may be used and engages coupling member 18 and coupling member 80 and may be a steel wire. Alternatively lifting member 72 may couple directly with handling member 10. Lifting member (172, figure 7) may have receiving portions (178, 176 figure 7) for tines of a forklift, or may only have one operable portion (276, figure 8).</p> |
