What is a "hoist"?
A hoist is a mechanical device used to lift or lower heavy loads by using a hook, chain, or rope. It typically works by winding the rope or chain around a drum or wheel, which is powered by electricity, a hand crank, or air pressure. Hoists are commonly used in construction, factories, and warehouses to move heavy materials or equipment vertically. They are designed to lift objects safely and efficiently, allowing workers to handle large or bulky items that would be difficult to move by hand. Hoists are available in various sizes and lifting capacities to suit different tasks.
