I am trying to locate an item described as a "heavy duty pan lifter"

The item is used to grab onto the edge of a cake pan(or other pan with a lip
and then lift the entire pan and it's contents with the device only. The
item has the shape and similar function to a pair of pliers but the handles
are much fatter and of course the gripping part is also different.

I have searched the internet to no avail(perhaps there is another name for
this item?)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I've seen something similar used for pizza pans. That might help in
the google search..

It's called a vice grip, available in most hardware stores.

No, it's not called a vice grip.

I don't know if I would trust those...a peel or a spatula and hot pads
would work better for me
