Hoist Block
what does monkey broad mean?
I have got something to translate, I do not understand what is meant by “Monkey broad”. the context is about cranes and derricks and so on. The sentences are:
“There is not much room between the block and the monkey broad. ”
“Pull pipe with hoist In a smooth and safe manner. Caution do not pull elevators past fingers or monkey broad.”
Looks like you got an instruction manual printed in China (or Texas)?
The only word that would make sense to me in this context is “Monkey Board”, which is a slang word which started in the transport industry, and is now mainly used on (oil) drilling platforms: The monkey board is where the derrick man works while ‘tripping’ pipe.
Official explanation:
“A small or narrow elevated platform on which a person stands (to operate a vehicle or machinery, or to perform other work).
While early in its history monkey board referred to a conductor’s place on wheeled vehicles such as buses, trams, and trolleys, it is now in common use on oil-drilling platforms and also appears in other industries. More or less synonymous terms, often used in a nautical context, include monkey bridge, monkey island, flying bridge, and flying gangway.”
