[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The embodiment of the utility model provides a rail hoist, comprising a frame 1; a plurality of rail hooks 2 are arranged at equal intervals in the horizontal direction at the bottom of the frame 1, and the rail hooks 2 are rotatably connected to the frame 1 via bearings; the rail hooks 2 have two working positions: an open position and a lifting position after rotating 90 degrees from the open position; when the rail hooks 2 are in the open position, they can be inserted between the top ends of two rails 8 that are closely arranged side by side; when the rail hooks 2 are in the lifting position, they are clamped in the two rails 8 that are closely arranged side by side;

[0033] The top ends of several rail hooks 2 are connected to a control handle 4 through a synchronous transmission assembly 3, and the control handle 4 drives several rail hooks 2 to switch synchronously between the open position and the lifting position through the synchronous transmission assembly 3; a limiting member 5 is fixedly provided on one side of the synchronous transmission assembly 3 on the frame 1, which is used to limit the control handle 4 when the rail hook 2 is in the open position and the lifting position respectively.

[0034] In this embodiment, when lifting multiple rails 8 that are closely arranged side by side, the control handle 4 is first rotated to drive the rail hooks 2 to rotate synchronously to the open position through the synchronous transmission component 3, and the control handle 4 is limited by the limiter 5 to allow the rail hooks 2 to accurately rotate to the open position; then, each rail hook 2 is inserted between adjacent rails, and the control handle 4 is rotated again to drive the rail hooks 2 to rotate synchronously to the lifting position through the synchronous transmission component 3, and the control handle 4 is limited by the limiter 5 to allow the rail hooks 2 to accurately rotate to the lifting position. At this time, the rail hooks 2 distributed at equal intervals clamp multiple rails 8 at the same time.

[0035] Multiple lifting points are evenly spaced on the multiple parallel rails 8, each of which is secured by a rail sling. The rail sling is connected to the hook or beam of a crane. The crane can lift multiple rails 8 at once. The rail sling of the present application is easy to install, securely fixed, highly safe, and highly efficient.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, suspension chains 6 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the frame 1. The frame 1 is connected to the hook or beam of the crane through the suspension chains 6. The connection is firm and safe.

[0041] In this embodiment, the rail hook 2 consists of a rotating shaft 21 and a clamping block 22. The width of the clamping block 22 allows it to extend between two rails 8, and the length of the clamping block 22 allows it to be clamped between the two rails 8. The two clamping blocks 22 cooperate to clamp one rail 8. This allows for easy installation and secure fixation, ensuring the safety of lifting multiple rails 8 simultaneously.
