Materials-handling machines that lift and lower a load along a fixed vertical path of travel with intermittent motion. In contrast to hoisting machines, elevating machines support their loads instead of carrying them suspended, and the path they travel is both fixed and vertical. They differ from vertical conveyors in operating with intermittent rather than continuous motion. Industrial lifts, stackers, and freight elevators are the principal classes of elevating machines. 1, record 3, English, - elevating%20machine

Le terme anglais «elevating machine» ne couvre pas les nacelles élévatrices(«cherry pickers») ni les appareils d’entretien de façades(«window cleaning equipment»). Le terme «appareil d’élévation par plate-forme» ne doit pas se traduire en anglais par «platform elevator», car celui-ci ne comprend que les appareils du type ascenseur, monte-charge et cage d’extraction. 2, record 3, French, - appareil%20d%27%C3%A9l%C3%A9vation%20par%20plate%2Dforme

La poulie Koepe, qui porte le nom de son inventeur, peut être installée au sol ou au sommet de la tour d’extraction. Elle utilise uniquement l'adhérence du câble d’extraction, auquel sont suspendues, à une extrémité, la cage chargée et, à l'autre, la cage vide. Pour diminuer la différence de tension sur les deux brins, un câble d’équilibre est fixé sous les cages. Pour augmenter l'adhérence, la gorge de la poulie est munie de brochets, en bois ou en matière à grande adhérence, dans lesquels est creusée une rainure semi-circulaire de même diamètre que celui du câble. 2, record 5, French, - poulie%20Koepe
