2. Lifting beam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_beam

   The bottom of the beam has multiple connection points for hanging the load. [1] H-shaped traverse. The lifting beams are used in multiple cases: [2] lifting an asymmetrical load. Without a beam, it might be hard to strap the load so that its center of gravity is exactly below the hook; handling a long load with a single-hook crane.

3. Weighing scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighing_scale

   Crane Scale : A crane scale is a device that measures the weight or mass of objects that are suspended from a crane. It has a hook at the bottom and a large display that allows distant viewing. Crane scales are used for various industrial applications, such as manufacturing, shipping, mining, recycling, and more

   Following a series of failed hangings, including those of John Babbacombe Lee, a committee chaired by Henry Bruce, 1st Baron Aberdare was formed in 1886 to discover and report on the most effective manner of hanging. The committee's report was printed in 1888 and recommended a drop energy of 1,260 foot-pounds force (1,710 J).

5. Steelyard balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelyard_balance

   A steelyard balance, steelyard, or stilyard is a straight-beam balance with arms of unequal length. It incorporates a counterweight which slides along the longer arm to counterbalance the load and indicate its weight. A steelyard is also known as a Roman steelyard or Roman balance. A 19th-century steelyard crane

6. I-beam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-beam

   In Canada, steel I-beams are now commonly specified using the depth and weight of the beam in metric terms. For example, a "W250x33" beam is approximately 250 millimetres (9.8 in) in depth (height of the I-beam from the outer face of one flange to the outer face of the other flange) and weighs approximately 33 kg/m (22 lb/ft; 67 lb/yd).

7. Triple beam balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_beam_balance

   The difference in size of the beams indicates the difference in weights and reading scale that each beam measures. Typically, the reading scale of the middle beam reads in 100 gram increments, the far beam in 10 gram increments, and the front beam can read from 0 to 10 grams. [2] The triple beam balance can be used to measure mass directly from ...
