What type of lifting devices and moving devices are out there: that are capable for 200,000 Lbs?

All in one lump?\n\nGoogle "100 ton crane"\n\nThere are many shipyard cranes that can do this.\n\nGoogle "rolling platforms"\n\nIf it is divided up a train can move it.\n\nYou may want to check out "Euclid Trucks"  or "Ore trucks"\n-- I don't know what the max there is.\n\nMight be some "Mining shovels" too.\n\nFor airplanes, the Russians make a very big one called an Antonov something.  Google "Antonov Heavy Airlift"\n\nProbably needs new tires often, and very strong runways.\n\nThat's all I can think of, ships are too obvious. Keep it under 13 feet height to use highways.  Maybe some special routes for 13.5 and higher, you need the Master Truck Router, for that.  Why not Google it to see what comes up?

lifting, pulling, exerting greater forces

Without driving it, you have two options for the most part.\n\n1) Hire a car transport service to haul it for you.\n\n2) Rent towing equipment from U-Haul if you have something to pull it with.\n\nOtherwise, I dont know how else you could move it.

have you tried an aquatic lift? the patient can sit in the chair and eased into the water from the deck/pier. \nI use them for my disabled clients who work out in 6 foot pools. there are many kinds, I like the hydraulics.\n\nhere are a few types...\nhttp://www.usatechguide.org/techguide.php?vmode=1&catid=5\nhttp://www.aquacreek.com/ppl.htm\nhttp://www.redspools.com/Lifts.html\nhttp://www.aquatic-access.com/\nbest of luck!

a compound machine would involve multiple mechanical devices.  For example a pulley connected to a lever which is connected to a gear system would be a good example.  This would be used possible to mechanically lift a load.

To give you a simple example...\n\nIf you want to move an object of 200kg it would require a force of 200kg.\n\nIf you use one pulley, it would require half of that force... 100kg\n\nIf you use a second pulley placed after the first one, you are reducing it by half again... and it requires a force of only 50kg\n\nUsing several pulleys is called "block and tackle".

Have you tried looking in the classified section of your local paper. They usually have a section for sports equipment. \n\nFreecycle is also an option, although in my experience people don't respond to the wanted ads quite as much as the offers. \n\nHere is the link: http://www.thomsonlocal.com/\n\nAnother alternative is finding out which auctions run in your area. In my area there are auctions of gym contents fairly regularly (I think they must go bust alot), you can pick up some pretty high tech equipment really cheaply. \n\nTry looking up auctioneers in your area in the Thompson directory, or your local paper may have a weekly auctions feature as mine does.

We did something like this in my physics lab with an Atwood machine.  It was a pully with weights hanging from it.  I can't exactly remember how it worked, but maybe this will inspire you.  We also did something with an air track and these two masses colliding and we'd see which one would go in which diretcion.  You need a nearly frictionless surface, like an air hockey table or ice slab.

High voltage electrogravitic levitating aluminumn foil triangle...aka..."Lifter"\n\nEven if you dont do this you gotta see the video clips.  A balsa wood frame and aluminum foil body, hooked to >20k voltage supply makes it levitate.  This has been replicated over 100 times by all kinds of people.

need to know the mechanics of the lift you are proposing. Otherwise the answer is just 826 N.\n\nAre you worrying about compresive load? Tensile Load?  Which Joint?

This is strictly a question for an experienced rigging contractor. There is a lot more to the question than just what cranes you are using. \n\nI have been involved in the lifting of many large vessels up to 150 foot in length and over 600,000 lbs. If you have to ask questions like the above, you have no business even involved in such a project. There are many contractors who are experienced in doing the kind of work you are asking about. \n\nI would not undertake such a job without some very experienced folks taking the lead.

get like a lever, those moving stuff that you can place stuff on then just roll it. Or get more than 1 person

think pully or wrench. \nwhy do we use pully to lift things, we replace distance for force.\nbut the total work = force *distace is fixed.\nanother example when you use a pipe to make a wrench handel longer fo you can turn the screw. \nIt is technically torque but similar concept.

Get one of your dads shoes, and use like a dumb bell, just lift it up above your head and back down to your waist level.\nI bet you cannot do 200 with each arm!
