A tank lifting attachment ( 10 ) is disclosed for allowing a tank, such as a wine press tank ( 12 ) to be lifted by a conventional lifting device ( 100 ) such as a crane or block and tackle. A center section ( 16 ) has a pair of inside grip plates ( 26 ) to abut the inner walls of the wine press tank ( 12 ). A first outside grip plate ( 28 ) and a second outside grip plate ( 42 ) are slidably affixed to the center section ( 16 ) such that the weight of the wine press tank ( 12 ) will cause a pair of under lip projections ( 38 ) affixed thereto to be secured under a portion of a lip ( 14 ) on the wine press tank ( 12 ). In an embodiment of the invention the tank lifting attachment ( 10 ) is secured to the lifting device ( 100 ) by a plurality of lifting straps ( 94 ).
