  2. Camper shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camper_shell

    The top of the camper shell is usually even with or above the top of the truck cab. Even though use for camping may have been its initial purpose, it now seems most often to be used for utility and storage purposes – particularly the protection of cargo from the elements and theft. A Chevrolet C1500 with a white camper shell.

  3. Hydraulic hooklift hoist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_hooklift_hoist

    Such systems operate between 4,000 to 5,800 psi (28,000 to 40,000 kPa). The North American market developed low pressure / high volume systems, which allowed operators to share the hoist's hydraulic system with other hydraulically powered devices. These systems typically operate with a larger gear pump and larger hydraulic reservoir. Operating ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoist_(mining)

    A drum hoist (steel wire rope visible) and motor. In underground mining a hoist or winder [1] is used to raise and lower conveyances within the mine shaft.Modern hoists are normally powered using electric motors, historically with direct current drives utilizing Ward Leonard control machines and later solid-state converters (), although modern large hoists use alternating current drives that ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_tackle

    The mechanical advantage is 2, requiring a force of only 50 N to lift the load. A block and tackle is characterized by the use of a single continuous rope to transmit a tension force around one or more pulleys to lift or move a load. Its mechanical advantage is the number of parts of the rope that act on the load. The mechanical advantage of a ...

    The lift lines of a counterweight rigging systems are typically a specific type of steel wire rope known as galvanized aircraft cable (GAC). Oil-free 0.25-inch (6.4 mm) diameter, 7 x 19 strand, GAC is the most common counterweight system lift line. It has a minimum cable breaking strength of approximately 7,000 pounds (3,200 kg).

  8. Differential pulley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_pulley

    The difference in radii can be made very small, making the mechanical advantage of this pulley system very large. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] In the extreme case of zero difference in radii, MA becomes infinite, thus no force (besides friction) is needed to move the chain, but moving the chain will no longer lift the load.

    The lift beams for the Jacket Lifting System were installed in 2021. [6] A 5,000 tonnes (5,500 short tons) special purpose crane built by Huisman is scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2018. The tub mounted crane will be available for additional lifts for jacket and topsides installation such as pile handling and bridge installation.
