  2. Chairlift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chairlift

    If the lift is a detachable chairlift, it is typically referred to as a "high-speed" or "express" lift, which results in an "express quad" or "high-speed six pack". rope speed the speed in meters per second or feet per minute/second at which the rope moves [load] interval the spacing between carriers, measured either by distance or time capacity

  3. Rolls-Royce LiftSystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_LiftSystem

    The concept of a shaft-driven lift-fan dates back to the mid-1950s. [9] The lift fan was demonstrated by the Allison Engine Company in 1995–97. [10] The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded General Electric and Rolls-Royce a $2.1 billion contract to jointly develop the F136 engine as an alternative to the F135.

  4. Three-point hitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_hitch

    Adjustable three-point ball on lift arm. Ball may be rotated to fit either Category I or Category II implements Rear three-point hitch of a Case IH tractor with implement attached by the drawbar. There are five different hitch sizes, called categories. The higher category hitches have sturdier lift arms and larger connector pins. [2]

  5. Detachable chairlift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detachable_chairlift

    A detachable chairlift or high-speed chairlift is a type of passenger aerial lift, which, like a fixed-grip chairlift, consists of numerous chairs attached to a constantly moving wire rope (called a haul rope) that is strung between two (or more) terminals over intermediate towers. In contrast to the fixed-grip version, the chairs of a ...

  6. Block and tackle - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  7. Counterweight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterweight

    A simple crane. A counterweight is a weight that, by applying an opposite force, provides balance and stability of a mechanical system. [1] The purpose of a counterweight is to make lifting the load faster and more efficient, which saves energy and causes less wear and tear on the lifting machine.

  8. High-lift device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-lift_device

    High-lift devices compensate for this design trade-off by adding lift at takeoff and landing, reducing the speed and distance required to safely land the aircraft, and allowing the use of a more efficient wing in flight. The high-lift devices on the Boeing 747-400, for example, increase the wing area by 21% and increase the lift generated by 90 ...

  9. Manual handling of loads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_handling_of_loads

    Lifting or lowering with high speed motion; Lifting or lowering on unstable floors; Lifting or lowering in extreme heat, cold, or humidity. [8] The NIOSH Revised Lifting Equation Manual can be found on the CDC's website or by clicking here.
