Microcell module lifting and positioning system

摘要

The present invention is directed to a lifting and positioning system for use by a single person in installing onto or removing from an elevated position a microcell module, all without the aid of major powered machinery. In addition to the use of a portable hoist, a bracket for permanently mounting the microcell module to a desired surface at the installation site, and a lifting bracket that detachably mounts to the module, the lifting and positioning system of the present invention uses structural features of the microcell module itself to simplify installation and removal. In this latter manner, only a relatively small number of parts need to be carried to the installation site, and can be done so safely and without undue bodily strain.
