- A hoist is a device used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift-wheel around which rope or chain wraps.
- It may be manually operated, electrically or pneumatically driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its lifting medium.
- The load is attached to the hoist by means of a lifting hook.
