Apparatus and Method for Facilitating Lifting and Manipulating Wall Sections

Abstract

An apparatus that facilitates lifting and manipulating a wall section when building on a slab. The apparatus has a lower hinge plate, a hinge pin, an upper hinge plate, a rotational stop, a gauge and a sliding keyed joint. The apparatus is designed to be mounted to the edges of both a sill plate and a bottom plate of the wall to enable a wall to be framed and sheathed in a horizontal orientation. The bottom plate aligns with the sill plate as the wall is pivoted into its final vertical position.
