What to use to load a medieval crossbow?

Depending on a drawing strength, crossbow was loaded manually or with dedicated items. We can mention a few of them:
- lever goats foot,
- English elevator, using a system of block and ropes,
- and a German cranequin using sprockets.
Depending on the size of a cranequin and number of notches in a sprocket, drawing strength can differ.

An example of a cranequin can be found in Castello di San Giusto, in Italian city Triest.
