Pictured here is an “Octopus style Lifter”. Not sure if this is the real name or not but that is what it looks like to me. It was crafted by the woodwork (and pumpkin grower) expert Joe Jutras and it seemed to work very well.

It allows a bunch of people to pick up a pumpkin with a ring system and not trip over each other (as much) as you would with a typical lifting tarp. This lifter does have limits on weight, but it seemed to do the job well.
