   The axles are coordinated by the control system to allow the SPMT to turn, move sideways or even rotate in place. Some SPMTs allow the axles to telescope independently of each other so that the load can be kept flat and evenly distributed while moving over uneven terrain. Each axle can also contain a hydrostatic drive unit.

5. Block and tackle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_tackle

   Consider the set of pulleys that form the moving block and the parts of the rope that support this block. If there are n of these parts of the rope supporting the load F B, then a force balance on the moving block shows that the tension in each of the parts of the rope must be F B /n. This means the input force on the rope is F A =F B /n.
