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.

   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 ...

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.
