Like I said, 'bock' has many usages and the actual piece of equipment varies in large and small contexts -- with the Eng term varying accordingly. I would therefore ask that you specify your request into the separate terms you are looking for -- that is, one term per question, as the rules state.
When it comes to heavy lifting, as in a shop handling large machines, and heavy load, I think you are heading in this direction. You can even find 'mobile' trestles. But you really need to give more context.

This is one term we often use but will it fit all the Swedish examples?
