A lifting and transporting device for lifting a load and transporting the same transversely to the lifting direction, for use in manufacturing a screwed flange connection in order to bring a bolting tool into a bolting position in which it is in engagement with a screw bolt connection to be tightened or to be released, or into a transport position in which it is out of engagement with a screw bolt connection and can be transported to the next screw bolt connection, wherein the flange extends horizontally in the transport direction, comprising a frame which for picking up and lifting a load extends around a load space of specified size, a holding means for holding the load, wherein the holding means is movable relative to the frame in the lifting direction, and comprising a hoisting means which is attached to the frame beside the load space and is adapted to lift and lower the holding means with a load attached thereto, wherein the frame is mounted on a first and a second support bearing (5, 6) whose support directions each extend perpendicularly to the transport direction and which have a distance to each other perpendicularly to the transport direction, wherein the first support bearing is designed for abutment against the flange upper side, and wherein at least the first support bearing includes sliding members or support rollers which can be shifted or rolled off in the transport direction, wherein the frame includes a first frame portion and a second frame portion, wherein the second frame portion is pivotally mounted on the first frame portion about an axis that extends in the transport direction, and the first support bearing is attached to the first frame portion, characterized in that the holding means is shiftably mounted on the second frame portion in the lifting direction and is non-pivotably mounted with respect to the second frame portion about an axis extending in the transport direction, and the holding means is adapted to non-pivotably hold the load with respect to the holding means about an axis extending in the transport direction. a frame which for picking up and lifting a load extends around a load space of specified size, a holding means for holding the load, wherein the holding means is movable relative to the frame in the lifting direction, and comprising a hoisting means which is attached to the frame beside the load space and is adapted to lift and lower the holding means with a load attached thereto, wherein the frame is mounted on a first and a second support bearing (5, 6) whose support directions each extend perpendicularly to the transport direction and which have a distance to each other perpendicularly to the transport direction, wherein the first support bearing is designed for abutment against the flange upper side, and wherein at least the first support bearing includes sliding members or support rollers which can be shifted or rolled off in the transport direction, wherein the frame includes a first frame portion and a second frame portion, wherein the second frame portion is pivotally mounted on the first frame portion about an axis that extends in the transport direction, and the first support bearing is attached to the first frame portion, characterized in that the holding means is shiftably mounted on the second frame portion in the lifting direction and is non-pivotably mounted with respect to the second frame portion about an axis extending in the transport direction, and the holding means is adapted to non-pivotably hold the load with respect to the holding means about an axis extending in the transport direction.
