A newly granted patent (Publication Number: US11975947B2) discloses a lifting device designed for lifting tubular piles efficiently. The device includes a hoisting member with multiple engagement elements that can move along guides inclined with respect to the centerline, allowing radial movement when lifted. Actuators control the movement of these elements, ensuring simultaneous lifting until one encounters a higher counterforce, at which point the others continue. Additionally, the device features a means for contacting the upper end of a monopile, enabling stability during the lifting process.

Furthermore, the patent details a method for lifting tubular piles using the described lifting device. The method involves inserting the device into the pile, moving the engagement elements towards the inner wall of the pile simultaneously, and stopping the movement of elements based on counterforce levels. This innovative approach ensures efficient and controlled lifting of tubular piles, with the ability to adjust based on varying counterforce levels encountered during the process. The method also includes provisions for stopping the movement of specific elements at predetermined counterforce levels, enhancing the safety and precision of the lifting operation.
