Bondage spider
A spider is a three or four-legged device for lifting cargo. They are often used by utility companies to span a manhole to raise and lower equipment or personnel into an underground vault or workspace. They weigh about three hundred pounds. Their height is adjustable but requires a utility truck to transport them.
The top photo is a four-legged bondage spider that I designed and had built by a local company. I designed this particular piece so that the height was 7'10". This allowed me to assemble the spider inside a room with a ceiling height of 8 feet. It had four legs to allow me to set up in a space with a smaller footprint.
When disassembled, the spider's eight pieces would fit into a 4'2" golf equipment bag for transport in the trunk of my car. total weight was approximately 80lbs.

- Image #3 - A three legged spider made of Kee Klamp hardware that was used at Folsom Street Fair - Note chain on the ground to stabilize this three-legged version. Each leg is two sections of six-foot long schedule 40 pipe which require a truck or station wagon for transport. (This spider gives more height and more lift capability.)
