  2. Mercury switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch

    There are several different basic designs (tilt, displacement, radial, etc.) but they all share the common design strength of non-eroding switch contacts. The most common is the mercury tilt switch. It is in one state (open or closed) when tilted one direction with respect to horizontal, and the other state when tilted the other direction.

  3. Precast concrete lifting anchor system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precast_concrete_lifting...

    F/n = 23 kN per anchor during initial lift (n = 2 lifting anchors) Transport loads in the yard and on-site Suction due to casting bed adhesion is not considered, as the calculation takes into account the lifting device dynamic coefficient. S = (W x Ksl x Kd) / n = (64.8 x 1.16 x 1.2) / 2 = 45.1 kN load resistance required per anchor

  4. Anti-handling device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-handling_device

    Anti-lifting devices. A device which initiates an explosion when a protected mine is lifted or pulled out of its hole. Anti-disturbance device. A device which initiates an explosion when a protected mine is lifted, tilted or disturbed in any way e.g. a notable variant of the VS-50 mine featuring an integral mercury switch. Anti-defuzing device.

  5. This device helps you lift really heavy objects with ease - AOL

    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.

  6. Lift slab construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_slab_construction

    Lift slab construction (also called the Youtz-Slick Method) is a method of constructing concrete buildings by casting the floor or roof slab on top of the previous slab and then raising (jacking) the slab up with hydraulic jacks. This method of construction allows for a large portion of the work to be completed at ground level, negating the ...

  7. Tilt detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_detector

    Sometimes tilt sensors are incorrectly called inclinometers because the sensors simply generate a signal (as opposed to inclinometers that generate a reading and a signal). A basic circuit using a tilt sensor is shown here. For this assembly, the components used are: a tilt sensor, a 470 Ohms resistor, a LED and a 3V power supply.

  8. Three-point hitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_hitch

    The two lower arms—the hitch lifting arms—are controlled by the hydraulic system, and provide lifting, lowering, and even tilting to the arms. The upper center arm—called the top link—is movable, but is usually not powered by the tractor's hydraulic system. Each arm has an attachment device to connect implements to the hitch.

  9. Gin pole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gin_pole

    In addition to being used as simple lifting devices in field operations such as construction, logging, loading and unloading boats, and emergency repairs, gin poles are well suited to raising loads above structures too tall to reach with a crane, such as placing an antenna on top of a tower/steeple, and to lift segments of a tower on top of one another during erection.
