  2. Hydraulic hooklift hoist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_hooklift_hoist

    Below grade reach is the distance that the hook head travels below the lifting bar on the container. This distance varies between hoist systems, ranging from 1 to 24 in or 25 to 610 mm. A below grade reach of 5 in (127 mm), or greater, improves stability when working on uneven ground.

    M1977A0 Common Bridge Transporter (CBT). M1977A2 CBT. The M1120 HEMTT LHS (L oad H andling S ystem) is a M977 Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck with a load handling system in place of a flat bed/cargo body. The HEMTT is an eight-wheel drive, diesel-powered, tactical truck used by the US military and others.

  4. Three-point hitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_hitch

    The three-point hitch (British English: three-point linkage) is a widely used type of hitch for attaching ploughs and other implements to an agricultural or industrial tractor. [1][2] The three points resemble either a triangle, or the letter A. In engineering terms, three-point attachment is the simplest and the only statically determinate way ...

  5. Working load limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_load_limit

    The factor can be as high as 10:1 or 10 to 1, if the equipment poses a risk to a person's life. Working Load Limit (WLL) is the maximum working load designed by the manufacturer. This load represents a force that is much less than that required to make the lifting equipment fail or yield. The WLL is calculated by dividing MBL by a safety factor ...

  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. Precast concrete lifting anchor system - Wikipedia

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

    F = W x Ksl x Ks x 0.5 = 64.8 x 1.16 x 1.2 x 0.5 = 45.1 kN; Anchor capacity for initial lift 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.

  8. Counterweight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterweight

    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. [2] Counterweights are often used in traction lifts (elevators), cranes and funfair rides. In these applications, the expected load multiplied by the distance that load will be spaced ...

  9. Engine crane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_crane

    The crane arm, with multiple lengths and weight capacities, has a hook on the end that connects a chain to the engine. The arm of the hydraulic engine hoist raises and lowers with the use of a hydraulic jack, which is operated with a bar that pumps the hydraulic jack to raise the arm. To lower the arm, pressure is released from the hydraulic ...
