About: Steam donkey

An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A steam donkey or donkey engine is a steam-powered winch once widely used in logging, mining, maritime, and other industrial applications. Steam powered donkeys were commonly found on large metal-hulled multi-masted cargo vessels in the later decades of the Age of Sail on through the Age of Steam, particularly heavily-sailed skeleton-crewed windjammers. A donkey used in forestry, also known as a logging engine, was often attached to a yarder for hauling logs from where trees were felled to a central processing area. The operator of a donkey was known as a donkeyman.

  • Un burro de vapor (nombre original en inglés: steam donkey) es el apodo común para un cabrestante impulsado por un motor de vapor. Era ampliamente utilizado en las explotaciones madereras, aunque no limitado a las tareas de tala exclusivamente. También se usaron en la minería, el transporte naval y casi en cualquier otra industria en la que se necesitara remolcar grandes pesos con un cabrestante. A menudo estaban unidos a un mástil para trabajar como grúas. (es)
