Truck
A truck or lorry is a motor vehicle designed to transport freight, carry specialized payloads, or perform other utilitarian work. Trucks vary greatly in size, power, and configuration, but the vast majority feature body-on-frame construction, with a cabin that is independent of the payload portion of the vehicle. Smaller varieties may be mechanically similar to some automobiles. Commercial trucks can be very large and powerful and may be configured to be mounted with specialized equipment, such as in the case of refuse trucks, fire trucks, concrete mixers, and suction excavators. In American English, a commercial vehicle without a trailer or other articulation is formally a "straight truck" while one designed specifically to pull a trailer is not a truck but a " tractor". The majority of trucks currently in use are powered by diesel engines, although small- to medium-size trucks with gasoline engines exist in North America. Electrically powered trucks are more popu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Crane (machine)
A crane is a machine used to move materials both vertically and horizontally, utilizing a system of a boom, hoist, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves for lifting and relocating heavy objects within the swing of its boom. The device uses one or more simple machines, such as the lever and pulley, to create mechanical advantage to do its work. Cranes are commonly employed in transportation for the loading and unloading of freight, in construction for the movement of materials, and in manufacturing for the assembling of heavy equipment. The first known crane machine was the shaduf, a water-lifting device that was invented in ancient Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) and then appeared in ancient Egyptian technology. Construction cranes later appeared in ancient Greece, where they were powered by men or animals (such as donkeys), and used for the construction of buildings. Larger cranes were later developed in the Roman Empire, employing the use of human treadwheels, permitting the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mobile Crane
A mobile crane is a cable-controlled crane mounted on crawlers or rubber-tired carriers or a hydraulic-powered crane with a telescoping boom mounted on truck-type carriers or as self-propelled models. They are designed to easily transport to a site and use with different types of load and cargo with little or no setup or assembly. Overview Mobile cranes generally operate a boom, from the end of which a hook is suspended by wire rope and sheaves. The wire ropes are operated by whatever prime movers the designers have available, operating through a variety of transmissions. Steam engines, electric motors, and internal combustion engines (IC) have all been used. Older cranes' transmissions tended to be clutches. This was later modified when using IC engines to match the steam engines' "max torque at zero speed" characteristic by the addition of a hydrokinetic element, culminating in controlled torque converters. The operational advantages of this arrangement can now be ach ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Michael Lawrie
Michael Lawrie (born 17 April 1968) is a British computer security and social networking expert known for many things ranging from running MUDs to accidentally being the world's first Cybersquatter. He lives in Cambridge, England where he created (and runs) the Cambridge Freecycle group, one of the largest in Europe. Early involvement in MUDS While at the University of Leeds, he took over management of MUD1 at Essex University in 1987. MUD1 was the first online role playing world, played by text through X.25/ PSS and later Telnet. After its shutdown he carried on running MIST, another early virtual world, until he closed that down in 1991. Famous then simply as Lorry, he wrote the seminal guide for MUD management "Confessions of an Arch-Wizard". Years later he wrote a few updates to this explaining how it all worked in practice. In 1988 he took over the AberMUD project for a year, running a standard distribution of the game at Southampton University, Leeds University ...

Lorry, Frederiksberg
Lorry is a former entertainment venue in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen, Denmark. Its history as an entertainment venue goes back to 1834 when the country house Enighedslyst was converted into a tea garden.

Anne-Charles Lorry
Anne-Charles Lorry (10 October 1726 – 18 September 1783) was a French physician who pioneered in psychiatry and dermatology. He has been called the founder of French dermatology and in his 1777 treatise, he described 115 skin diseases, grouping them into 14 classes. Lorry was born in Paris to Francois, a professor of law at the University of Paris, and Madeleine LaFosse who came from a family of artists known for the studio of LeBrun. Lorry apprenticed in medicine under Jean Astruc, physician to Louis XV. He received a doctorate in 1748. When he treated the infant of the Duc de Richlieu successfully, he became known in aristocratic circles. After Louis XV died of smallpox, he became physician to Louis XVI. In 1775 he was one of the founding members of the Royal Society of Medicine.

Mine Car
A minecart, mine cart, or mine car (or more rarely mine trolley or mine hutch), is a type of rolling stock found on a mine railway, used for transporting ore and materials procured in the process of traditional mining. Minecarts are seldom used in modern operations, having largely been superseded in underground operations (especially coal mines) by more efficient belt conveyor systems that allow machines such as longwall shearers and continuous miners to operate at their full capacity, and above ground by large dumpers. Terminology Throughout the world, there are different titles for mine carts. In South Africa, a minecart is referred to as a ; or koekepan. In German, it is called (alternative spelling ). In Wales, minecarts are known as drams. In the U.S. and elsewhere, the term skip – or skip wagon (older spelling: ''waggon'') – is used. (See: Skip (container)#Etymology) In particular, a V skip wagon is a side-tipping skid with a V-shaped body ( Images) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lorry (horse-drawn)
A lorry or lorrie was a low flat horse-drawn vehicle with no sides, related to the Trolley (horse-drawn), trolley and dray. Vehicle delivery trailer This version was a low-loading trolley (horse-drawn), trolley used mainly for the carriage of other vehicles, for example for delivery from the Coachbuilder#Horse-drawn origins, coachbuilders or returning there for repair. Its very small wheels were mounted under the deck which had to be wider than the track of the vehicles to be carried. It had two ramps, stowed above the back axle and below the body. These were withdrawn from the lorry and one end of each attached to the back of the deck while the other ends rested on the ground. A winch, mounted on the headboard was then used to draw the load up the ramps and onto the deck. The winch cable, low fixed sideboards and a low hinged tailboard plus lashings retained it there. The lorry was rather like a wooden version of the modern car-carrying trailer, intended for towing behind ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
