A lifting apparatus 11 features a base 12, a pedestal 13, an elongate load bearing member 14, attachment means 19 and weights 17 which are moveable along the elongate arm 14 to lift and counterbalance, a load attached to the attachment means 19. The movement of the weights 17 may be electronically or remotely controllable. The pedestal 13 may pivot relative to the base 12, and the base 12 may be provided with wheels (25,26 fig.4). The overall size of the apparatus 11 may be such that it finds particular application in the moving of heavy items from outdoors to indoors, whereas other more traditional lifting devices, such as cranes, might not be suitable for the same job.
