Pulley. 

  Have you looked at the working crane?    
     The simplest crane like machines were used in ancient Egypt for building pyramids.

    Cranes have a heavy wire rope called a cable, that passes through a group of pulleys.

A single pulley can change the direction of force.

     Pulleys make it seem easier to move heavy loads.
