The present disclosure refers to an apparatus for hoisting and positioning a load in a self-balanced manner regardless of the position of its center of gravity. The apparatus comprises an upper platform adapted for being hoisted from a general hoisting point, a lower platform adapted the attachment of a load to be hoisted and positioned, and a six degrees of freedom actuator comprising six variable length tendons, adapted for moving the lower frame with respect the upper frame in the three directions of the space and tilted around the three axis of the space. A configurable counterweight system supported by the upper platform is arranged for modifying the center of mass of the apparatus over a horizontal plane, and processing means are configured for dynamically calculating a desired position of the counterweight system, for balancing the apparatus with the respect to a general hoisting point.
