Image Kahnhebehaus Halsbruecke.jpg thumb Kahnhebehaus Halsbr cke A tub boatlift is a type of boatlift designed to lift tub boat s between different elevations of a canal. Tub boats are small boats used to transport coal and other minerals, sometimes working singly, sometimes in long trains. A tub boatlift lang de Kahnhebehaus lifts the boat out of the water. Most other types of boatlift such as Locks water transport locks or Canal inclined plane inclined planes are designed to move the boat afloat in some kind of water filled tank, and, apart from maximum dimensions, are not restricted in the type of craft transported. Tub boat lifts and tub boats are designed to work together as a system. A given lift will only be able to lift boats designed for the lift. Operation Tub boat lifts consisted of a moveable hoist travelling on four toothed wheels engaging with two toothed wooden rails, one mounted on each supporting wall. The hoist possessed two drums around which the lifting cables were wound. The lifting ropes passed through pulley blocks before being attached to lifting eyes on the boats to make the lift easier. Four men would wind the hoist when lifting a full 2.5 to 3 tonne tub boat until it was high enough to pass over the dam of the upper canal.

The most common topping lift on a modern sailboat is attached to the boom. Topping lifts are primarily used to hold a boom up when the sail is lowered. http www.sailingusa.info weather and reefing.htm This line would run from near the free end of the boom s forward to the top of the mast. The line may be run over a block at the top of the mast and down to the deck to allow it to be adjusted. For small booms, the topping lift may be run from end of the boom to the backstay or next mast aft. When the sail is raised again, the topping lift is loosened or removed. On sailboats used for racing, boom lift function is frequently incorporated into the boom vang system, to reduce the number of lines aloft.

Unreferenced date February 2008 Gas lift is one of a number of processes used to artificially lift Petroleum oil or water from wells where there is insufficient reservoir pressure to produce the well. The process involves injecting gas through the tubing casing Annulus oil well annulus . Injected gas aerates the fluid to reduce its density the formation pressure is then able to lift the oil column and forces the fluid out of the wellbore. Gas may be injected continuously or intermittently, depending on the producing characteristics of the well and the arrangement of the gas lift equipment. Image Gaslift.jpg right frame Gas lift is a form of artificial lift where gas bubbles lift the oil from the well. The amount of gas to be injected to maximize oil production varies based on well conditions and geometries. Too much or too little injected gas will result in less than maximum production.

The name spectacle lift is because the wheel grids resemble a pair of spectacles when in their raised position as observed from the rear of the vehicle. Spectacle lift recovery vehicles have been very popular with vehicle recovery operators for many years due to their versatility. The spectacle lift is able to remove the casualty vehicle with speed. Spectacle lift vehicles are used for breakdown assistance as there is ample stowage space for diagnostic equipment and mechanical tools required to repair a vehicle. Most spectacle lifts are hydraulically operated and able to lift in excess of 1900 kg suitable for cars and light commercial vehicles. The spectacle lift works by lifting the drive axle off the ground so that no mechanical damage is caused to the casualty vehicle.
