Specialized equipment used for vertical lifting and hoisting operations of heavy objects and materials in manufacturing sites. Includes lifting devices such as chain blocks, lever blocks, electric hoists, winches, and jacks. Used for machine tool parts replacement, mold attachment/detachment, heavy component assembly work, and product loading operations. Available in wide range from manual to electric types by load capacity. Distinguished from conveyors and carts that primarily handle horizontal movement, this equipment group specializes in vertical lifting functions. Unlike cranes, these are relatively compact and highly portable devices suitable for localized lifting operations.
