The frame includes a central portion interconnecting two spaced apart lifting portions and a suspension space defined below the central portion and between the lifting portions. The central portion includes an aperture. Each lifting portion is configured to engage a lifting device, such as a fork lift. The rotation member is disposed above the aperture of the central portion. The rotation member is a ball joint including a ball member that rotates and pivots within a rotation cavity. A fastener member attaches to the ball member and is suspended through the aperture of the frame's central portion. The fastener member is attached to a load to lift and suspend the load within or below the suspension space while allowing rotation and pivoting of the load relative to the frame.
