The support means also includes a retention member connected to and extending out from the base member where this retention member is angled with respect to the base member. The support means is adapted to be used so that the base member is to support the weight of the section of shaft lifted by lifting equipment, and the retention member is adapted to retain the section of the shaft on the base member. A securing means can also be used in conjunction with such a support means and is also within the scope of the invention discussed.
