SECTION B– PERFORMING OPERATIONS; TRANSPORTING


B 66HOISTING; LIFTING; HAULING


B 66 DCAPSTANS; WINCHES; TACKLES, e.g. PULLEY BLOCKS; HOISTS (winding or unwinding ropes or cables for feeding or storage purposes B 65 H; rope or cable-winding or unwinding mechanisms for lifts B 66 B)


 Note

 This subclass covers:
