  2. Block and tackle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_tackle

    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. Thus, the block and tackle reduces the input force by the factor n.

  3. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    The negative sign shows that the velocity of the load is opposite to the velocity of the applied force, which means as we pull down on the rope the load moves up. Let V A be positive downwards and V B be positive upwards, so this relationship can be written as the speed ratio

  4. Inclined plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclined_plane

    Moving an object up an inclined plane requires less force than lifting it straight up, at a cost of an increase in the distance moved. [4] The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane, the factor by which the force is reduced, is equal to the ratio of the length of the sloped surface to the height it spans.

  5. Rigging (material handling) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigging_(material_handling)

    Rigging is both a noun, the equipment, and verb, the action of designing and installing the equipment, in the preparation to move objects. A team of riggers design and install the lifting or rolling equipment needed to raise, roll, slide or lift objects such as heavy machinery, structural components, building materials, or large-scale fixtures ...

    This nifty little tool helps you lift heavy objects like large panels of wood or drywall. It clamps onto the top of the panel and has a handle that lets you carry these large slabs right on your side.

  7. Crane (machine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_(machine)

    The generally accepted definition of a crane is a machine for lifting and moving heavy objects by means of ropes or cables suspended from a movable arm. As such, a lifting machine that does not use cables, or else provides only vertical and not horizontal movement, cannot strictly be called a 'crane'. Types of crane-like lifting machine include:

  8. Simple machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_machine

    A simple machine is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. [1] In general, they can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage (also called leverage) to multiply force. [2]

  9. Manual handling of loads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_handling_of_loads

    Forklifts are powered vehicles (gas, diesel, electric) that are often used in facilities to move heavy items. The truck can pick up significantly heavier objects compared to the human and move it to a new location. Since the forks can be adjusted, the height of the lift can also be adjusted so that employees can lift in a more neutral position.
