Hulett

A hulett is a very big machine that picks up and moves a lot of heavy things, like piles of grain, coal, or iron ore. It's like a giant robot arm that can reach out and grab a huge scoop of material and then move it to where it needs to go.

The hulett has a long arm called a boom that can spin around in a circle and reach out over the pile of materials that need to be moved. At the end of the boom is a big scoop that can be opened and closed like a giant hand.

When the hulett is ready to move the materials, the scoop reaches down and scoops up a big pile of it. Then the boom swings around and moves the scoop to where it needs to go, like a ship or a train. The scoop can then be opened up to pour the materials into the ship or train.

The hulett is really helpful because it can move a lot of heavy things very quickly and efficiently. It's used in big industrial places like ports and factories to move things around and get them where they need to go.
