Abstract:
A barge lid lifter system having a frame, a plurality of vertical beams adjustably mounted to the frame, a plurality of cross bracing beams, and a plurality of load engagement mechanisms mounted to the vertical beams. Each load engagement mechanism may include a frame including a dagger plate, and a linear actuator configured to position an arm is configured an arm over a dagger point to retain a lifting assembly of a barge lid. The brackets of the vertical beams are configured to mount onto plates disposed on the frame such that the position of the load engagement mechanisms can be adjusted to fit barge lids of varying lengths and widths.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of lifting a barge lid comprising the steps of:\n providing a barge lid lifter system, the barge lid lifter system having a frame, the frame comprising a plurality of vertical beams, individual ones of the plurality of vertical beams having a proximal portion that is adjustably mounted to the frame of the barge lid lifter system, and having a distal portion that is mounted to one of a plurality of load engagement mechanisms; contacting a plurality of guides of the barge lid lifter system to a barge, wherein each of the plurality of guides is mounted to a respective one of the plurality of vertical beams; landing the barge lid lifter system onto the barge lid, wherein individual lifting assemblies of the barge lid are positioned between a dagger point and an arm of individual ones of the plurality of load engagement mechanisms; and securing the plurality of barge lid lifting assemblies, wherein each of the arms of the plurality of load engagement mechanisms close over each of the dagger points to retain the plurality of lifting assemblies of the barge lid.
