2. Wire rope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_rope

   Steel wire rope (right hand lang lay) Wire rope is composed of as few as two solid, metal wires twisted into a helix that forms a composite rope, in a pattern known as laid rope. Larger diameter wire rope consists of multiple strands of such laid rope in a pattern known as cable laid. Manufactured using an industrial machine known as a strander ...

   Rope – Length of braided strands; Shackle – Metal assembly which functions as a removable connecting link; Sheave – Grooved wheel used to support a moving belt, wire or rope; Sheer legs; Sling (rigging) – Rope, webbing, wire or chain used to support a load for lifting; Rope splicing – Semi-permanent joint between two ropes

4. Lifting hook - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_hook

   A lifting hook is usually equipped with a safety latch to prevent the disengagement of the lifting wire rope sling, chain or rope to which the load is attached. A hook may have one or more built-in pulley sheaves as a block and tackle to multiply the lifting force. Lifting hook attached to sheave suspended by wire rope from boom of crane

5. Hoist (device) - Wikipedia

7. Block and tackle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_tackle

   Typical values are 1.04 for roller bearing sheaves and 1.09 for plain bearing sheaves (with wire rope). [11] The increased force produced by a tackle is offset by both the increased length of rope needed and the friction in the system. In order to raise a block and tackle with a mechanical advantage of 6 a distance of 1 metre, it is necessary ...
