Kehtimatööriist

Kehtimatööriist is a Finnish term that translates to "crib tool" or "cribbing material" in English. It refers to materials used to support or secure heavy objects, particularly in construction, engineering, or emergency situations. These tools are typically placed under or around an object to prevent it from shifting, collapsing, or falling.

Common materials used as kehtimatööriist include wooden blocks, beams, and planks. In some applications, metal or concrete structures may also serve this purpose. The primary function of kehtimatööriist is to distribute weight, provide stability, and create a secure resting place for heavy loads. This is crucial during activities such as lifting, moving, or temporary storage of large structures, machinery, or vehicles.

The term is often associated with situations where immediate support is needed to prevent accidents or damage. For instance, during rescue operations, kehtimatööriist might be used to stabilize a vehicle that has overturned or to shore up a damaged building. In construction, it’s employed to support beams, columns, or other structural elements during assembly or repair. The effectiveness of kehtimatööriist depends on its strength, stability, and proper placement to effectively bear the load.
