Summary

Description
Deutsch: Darstellung eines römischen Pentaspastos-Krans. Der Pentaspastos ("5-Rollen-Zug") stellte einen mittelgroßen römischen Krantyp dar. Er bestand aus Hebebaum, zwei Haspeln, einem Seil und einem Flaschenzug mit fünf Rollen. Dies entspricht einer Übersetzung von 5 zu 1. Die zwei Arbeiter an der Haspel konnten - unter der Annahme, dass 50 kg den maximalen Krafteinsatz darstellen, den ein Mann über einen längeren Zeitraum ausüben kann - Lasten von ca. 450 kg heben.
English: Scheme of an ancient Roman Pentaspastos crane ("Five-pulley-crane"). Being a medium-sized Roman crane, the Pentaspastos consisted of a single-beam jib, two winches, a rope, and a block containing five pulleys. Having thus a mechanical advantage of 5:1, the two men working the winch could raise loads of ca. 450 kg, assuming that 50 kg represent the maximum effort a man can exert over a longer time period.
