    Atlas crane capable of lifting 6,500 kg (14,300 lb) at a distance of 4.9 m (16 ft) (this is sufficient to lift a Challenger 2 power pack). Dozer blade to use as an earth anchor/stabiliser, or in obstacle clearance and fire position preparation.

  3. Offshore embedded anchors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_embedded_anchors

    A deep-penetrating anchor (DPA) is conceptually similar to a torpedo anchor: it features a dart-shaped, thick-walled, steel cylinder with flukes attached to the upper section of the anchor. A full-scale DPA is approximately 15 metres (49 ft) in length, 1.2 metres (4 ft) in diameter, and weighs on the order of 50–100 tonnes (49–98 long tons ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_death_triangle

    The load on the sling is the same in each example. For the V arrangement, the anchor force is equal to the tension in the sling, but for the triangle the anchor force is greater than the sling tension. Aside from the magnification of forces, the death triangle violates several best practices for building climbing anchors, including

  5. Earth anchor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_anchor

    An earth anchor is a device designed to support structures, most commonly used in geotechnical and construction applications. Also known as a ground anchor , percussion driven earth anchor or mechanical anchor , it may be impact driven into the ground or run in spirally, depending on its design and intended force-resistance characteristics.

  6. Dead-end tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead-end_tower

    Dead-end towers may use earth anchor cables to compensate for the asymmetric attachment of the conductors. They are often used when the power line must cross a large gap, such as a railway line, river, or valley. Dead-end towers may be constructed of the same materials as other structures of the line.

  7. Anchor (climbing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_(climbing)

    In rock climbing, an anchor can be any device or method for attaching a climber, rope, or load to a climbing surface—typically rock, ice, steep dirt, or a building—either permanently or temporarily. The intention of an anchor is case-specific but is usually for fall protection, primarily fall arrest and fall restraint.

  9. Stockless anchor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockless_anchor

    The stockless anchor is an improved version of the Admiralty anchor it is derived from. It has two flukes that pivot on the same plane perpendicular to the shank. [2] The weight of the shank and accompanying chain, or the shank angled under tension, keep the anchor laying flat on the sea floor.
