[...] [on distingue] deux classes d'outils de levage: les appareils qui agissent normalement en tirant (les poulies et moufles, les palans et les treuils), les appareils qui agissent en poussant (les crics et les vérins.

Il est difficile de trouver des critères parfaits pour différencier les crics et les vérins. En effet la plupart des crics ont une crémaillère et une manivelle, la plupart des vérins ont une vis, un écrou et un levier. Cependant on trouve des crics à vis comme les crics de voitures. [...] Nous constatons aussi d'une part que la charge maximale admissible pour un cric de dépasse pas 20 tonnes, alors que celle des vérins va jusqu'à 300 tonnes, et d'autre part que les crics servent surtout à faire mouvoir une charge, tandis que les vérins servent plutôt à la caler. [...] Les vérins ont un usage beaucoup plus spécialisé que les crics et sont souvent construits spécialement en fonction de leur destination [...] 3, record 3, French, - outil%20de%20levage%20agissant%20par%20pouss%C3%A9e
