A lifting device is an assembly designed to raise or lower loads vertically, with or without horizontal displacement, by applying mechanical or powered force against gravity.
PT-BR
Um dispositivo de elevação é um conjunto projetado para elevar ou baixar cargas verticalmente, com ou sem deslocamento horizontal, aplicando força mecânica ou motorizada contra a gravidade.

— physical object or assembly to be raised, at initial elevation
Outputs (O)
LoadObject
— same object at elevated position
Transformation (T)
vertical displacement of a load against gravity, with optional horizontal repositioning
The lifting device applies mechanical advantage or powered force to raise the load vertically; the identity-giving function is the lifting capability, distinguishing it from support structures or conveyors that move material horizontally.
