In your world I may be wrong as your use of language is not precise.



EVERY yard calls a travellift a travellift. Cranes are used for other
things. Face it. You're beat on this point. Proper usage is understood
usage. Now call a yard and ask them if they have a crain. Typically
you'll get "yes" if they have one or "Yes, and we also have a
travellift."
Check ANY yard website. The word travellift is ALWAYS used. NOT CRAIN.

And the beating shall continue.

"Travellift" is a brand name.

Kleenex is a brand name.
Kleenex is a facial tissue.
Not all facial tissues are Kleenex.

Not all refrigerators are Frigidaires.

Not all tape is Scotch.

Not all software is Microsoft.

A chop saw does not chop.
It is not an axe.

And so it goes with travellift. It's name may have the word "lift", but in
classification of industrial equipment it is a crane.

Come back if you need more of a beating.

Amen!
