An apparatus for lifting elongated objects includes a shelf that is elongated, and a frame connected to a lengthwise edge of the shelf for lifting the shelf and any panels that are resting on the shelf. The frame includes risers affixed to the shelf and extension members that extend from the risers over the shelf. Shackles are mounted to the extension members at a location (center of gravity) that keeps the apparatus for lifting elongated objects substantially level when lifted by cables attached to the shackles. Telescoping extensions at each end of the shelf provide for lifting longer elongated objects (e.g., the shelf is 30 feet long when the telescoping extensions are retracted and 50 feet long when the telescoping extensions are completely extended, providing for lifting very long elongated objects (e.g., 100 foot long or greater elongated objects).
