A relieving tackle, also known as a "relieving tackle block" or "relieving tackle system," is a mechanical configuration of pulleys and ropes or cables used to lift, lower, or move heavy loads with greater ease and efficiency. This type of tackle is often employed in rigging and lifting operations, where it can be beneficial to distribute the weight of a load and reduce the amount of force required to move it.
