Hoist

A hoist is a mechanical device used to lift or lower heavy objects, typically by wrapping a rope, chain, or cable around a drum or lift wheel. Powered either manually or by electricity, it provides a safe and efficient way to move large loads vertically. Hoists are commonly used in construction, industrial settings, and warehouses, allowing workers to handle heavy materials with less effort and increased safety. They come in various sizes and capacities to suit different lifting needs, and operation usually involves a control mechanism to raise or lower the load precisely.
