Les palans différentiels sont des palans à chaîne, dans lesquels le système réducteur est constitué par deux poulies à alvéoles de diamètres inégaux calées sur le même arbre, et dont le nombre d'alvéoles est différent. Ces deux poulies, qui forment la partie supérieure du palan, sont complétées par une poulie inférieure munie d'un crochet. La chaîne sans fin, qui sert à la fois de chaîne de manœuvre et de chaîne de levage, passe une fois sur la grande poulie du haut, une fois sur la poulie du bas, remonte sur la petite poulie du haut, et se termine en bouche pendante, dont l'un des brins attaque la grande poulie du haut. 3, record 1, French, - palan%20diff%C3%A9rentiel

D'après les sources LGRAN (Grand Larousse encyclopédique) et ENMAA (Encyclopédie de la manutention), le palan différentiel est nécessairement à chaîne. Il serait donc redondant de préciser «palan différentiel à chaîne». Par contre, d'après QUENC (Dictionnaire encyclopédique Quillet), le palan différentiel peut être à corde ou à chaîne. 4, record 1, French, - palan%20diff%C3%A9rentiel

The Melt Cell in-cell crane is a bridge-type crane. It has a steel I-beam frame, called the bridge assembly, that rides on steel wheels and rails for side to side movement... A trolley assembly provides forward and backward movement so the hoists can be positioned almost anywhere in the cell. The in-cell crane main hoist is connected to a canister grapple that can grab canisters. The grapple has a 15, 000 pound load capacity. The 1, 000 pound auxiliary hoist is operated the same way as the main hoist. 2, record 3, English, - in%2Dcell%20hoist
