Note
A carrying pole, also called a shoulder pole or a milkmaid´s yoke, is a yoke of wood or bamboo, used by people to carry a load. This piece of equipment is used in one of two basic ways:

A single person balances the yoke over one shoulder, with an evenly distributed load being suspended from each end.Two people support the yoke by resting it on a shoulder, with the load suspended from the centre of the yoke.It is still widely used in East Asia, and was previously used in the Western world, in particular by milkmaids. It was once part of the European culture, and was subsequently brought to Australia and the United States. It was also commonly used in Sri Lanka, where it was called Pingo. There are early 19th century postcards from Ceylon with Pingo Carriers.
