The invention relates to a lifting apparatus and in particular to lifting apparatus suitable for lifting casing and pipes for the offshore oil and gas industries. A lifting apparatus (10) is disclosed which comprises a pair of lifting members (13) and an actuator (16). In use, the weight of the actuator imparts a lateral force to the lifting members thereby increasing a lateral separation between distal ends of the lifting members, to move the apparatus from a storage position to an operating position, for lifting a length of casing (30). The lifting members may be rigid or may include a sling (12) and a rigid sling guide (14).

L'invention concerne un appareil de levage et plus particulièrement un appareil de levage convenant au levage de tubages et de conduites pour le pétrole exploité en mer et des industries gazières. Cet appareil de levage (10) comprend une paire d'éléments de levage (13) et un actionneur (16). En fonctionnement, le poids de l'actionneur applique une force latérale sur les éléments de levage ce qui fait accroître la séparation latérale entre les extrémités distales des éléments de levage, afin de déplacer l'appareil d'une position de stockage en une position de fonctionnement, afin de lever une longueur de tubage (30). Les éléments de levage sont rigides ou comprennent une élingue (12) et un guide d'élingue rigide (14).
