A lever device for lifting an object off the ground includes a lever member having a distal end that is positionable immediately adjacent a bottom end of the object. The lever device also includes a grip member that is operable with the lever member to lift the object off the ground. The grip member is adjustable relative to the lever member to accommodate a size of the object being lifted off the ground. The grip member includes a toothed or hooked end that grips an upper surface of the object to be lifted off the ground. The lever device further includes a handle that is graspable by a user to impart a lever force to the grip member and the lever member and thereby lift the object off the ground.
