2. Differential pulley - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_pulley

   Because there is a traveling pulley at the load, this doubles the mechanical advantage of the fixed (anchored) sprocket assembly, leading to a total mechanical advantage of 2 × ⁠ P 1 / P 1 − P 2 ⁠. For instance, a 1-ton differential chain fall might have a 15-pocket and a 14-pocket sprocket set.

3. Langer Heinrich (crane vessel) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langer_Heinrich_(crane_vessel)

   The crane had three smaller hoists for lifting 10, 20 and 50 tons. The main hoist has two 125 tonne lifting units which could be coupled for a combined lift of 250 tonnes. The crane had a maximum jib tower height of 81.4 m. The crane is self-propelled with two propellers and floats on pontoons.

4. Hoist (device) - Wikipedia

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

   Hoist atop an elevator. A hoist is a device used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift-wheel around which rope or chain wraps. It may be manually operated, electrically or pneumatically driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its lifting medium.

5. Engine crane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_crane

   The electric chain hoist, also known as the "electric hoist", is the least used type of engine crane. The operation is similar to the chain hoist in the way that chains are used to lift the engine. The electric chain hoist uses an electric motor operated by remote control to lift the engine, unlike the chain hoist where the operator has to ...

6. Overhead crane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_crane

   Now many hoists are package hoists, built as one unit in a single housing, generally designed for ten-year life, but the life calculation is based on an industry standard when calculating actual life. See the Hoists Manufacturers Institute site [2] for true life calculation, which is based on load and hours used. In today's modern world for the ...

7. Block and tackle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_tackle

   A block and tackle [1] [2] or only tackle [3] is a system of two or more pulleys with a rope or cable threaded between them, usually used to lift heavy loads.. The pulleys are assembled to form blocks and then blocks are paired so that one is fixed and one moves with the load.
