Hoist cage assembly

A hoist cage assembly for lifting a pallet of material with a crane, said assembly comprising:

• a cage having a bottom end being open wherein said cage is configured to be positioned around a pallet of material, said cage having a plurality of bar openings each extending through said cage, said cage having a plurality of outer walls extending between said bottom end and a top end of said cage, said outer walls intersecting each other such that said cage has a rectangular shape, said top end being open wherein said top end is configured to accommodate the height of the pallet of material, said cage having a plurality of lift points, each of said lift points extending upwardly from said top end of said cage, each of said lift points being positioned at an intersection between a receptive pair of said outer walls of said cage, each of said lifting points having a hole extending through said lifting point wherein said hole in each of said lifting points is configured to have a lifting line extended through said hole for lifting said cage, each of said bar openings extending through a respective one of said outer walls, each of said bar openings being bounded by a bottom threshold of said respective outer wall;
• a plurality of bars, each of said bars being slidable through a respective pair of said bar openings wherein each of said bars is configured to extend through the pallet when said cage is lowered over the pallet, each of said bars resting on said bottom threshold of respective outer walls when said cage is lifted wherein each of said bars is configured to transfer the weight of the pallet onto said cage thereby facilitating said cage to lift the pallet when said cage is lifted;
• a plurality of sleeves, each of said sleeves being coupled to said cage, said sleeves being strategically arranged on said cage thereby facilitating each of said bars to be slidably stored in said plurality of sleeves, each of said sleeves having an outside wall, said outside wall of each of said sleeves being coupled to a respective outer wall of said cage, said plurality of sleeves including a plurality of pairs of said sleeves, each of said pairs of sleeves being aligned with each other on said outer wall such that each of said pairs of sleeves is facilitated to slidably receive a respective one of said bars for storage, each of said pairs of sleeves including a closed sleeve, said closed sleeve having a lower end being closed such that said lower end of said closed sleeve inhibits said bar from falling through said closed sleeve, said closed sleeve of each of said pairs of sleeves being positioned adjacent to said bar opening in said respective outer wall of said cage, each of said pairs of sleeves being arranged such that said bars are oriented at a diagonal line on said respective outer wall of said cage when said bars are stored in said sleeves;
• a plurality of handles, each of said handles being coupled to a respective outer wall of said cage wherein each of said handles is configured to be gripped, each of said handles being positioned on opposite sides of said cage with respect to each other wherein said plurality of handles is configured to facilitate a worker to guide said cage around the pallet when said cage is being lowered around the pallet;
• and
• a box being coupled to a respective outer wall of said cage wherein said box is configured to store objects, said box having a top side being open.
