It does fit the definition of a crane.

Two of the wheels pivot and two of the lifting points are
cantilevered from
the vertical axis of the pivot.

It's a crane.

Oi! It's not a crane, potty-scotty. It's called a Travel
lift. It does not
fit
the definition of "crane", just like you and gaytex-joe do
not fit the
definition of "sailor".

He certainly is getting slapped about. Joe really gave him some wicked pile
drivers, you got him good with the trailer. He comes back for more.

I think it's an anemia thing. He should eat some liver.

Did you see the beating that Jeff delivered to RB?

I've been busy researching lava lakes. Did you know the largest one is on
the floor of the Indian Ocean? I bet that is where Satan popped out and ran
into Iraq.



TRUCK DRIVIN' MAN
(T. FELL)

I STOPPED AT A ROADHOUSE IN TEXAS
WAS A LITTLE PLACE CALLED HAMBURGER DAN'S
I HEARD THAT OLD JUKEBOX A-PLAYIN'
A SONG ABOUT A TRUCK DRIVIN' MAN.

CHORUS
POUR ME ANOTHER CUP OF COFFEE
FOR IT IS THE BEST IN THE LAND
I'LL PUT A NICKEL IN THE JUKEBOX
AND PLAY THE TRUCK DRIVIN' MAN.

THE WAITRESS JUST BROUGHT ME SOME COFFEE
I THANKED HER BUT CALLED HER AGAIN
I SAID THAT OLD SONG SURE DOES FIT ME
YA KNOW I'M A TRUCK DRIVIN' MAN.

CHORUS
POUR ME ANOTHER CUP OF COFFEE
FOR IT IS THE BEST IN THE LAND
I'LL PUT A NICKEL IN THE JUKEBOX
AND PLAY THE TRUCK DRIVIN' MAN.

I CLIMBED BACK ABOARD MY OLD SEMI
AND THEN LIKE A FLASH I WAS GONE
I GOT THEM OLD TRUCK WHEELS A-ROLLIN'
YA KNOW I'M ON MY WAY TO SAN ANTONE.
REPEAT CHORUS

Crane: an often horizontal projection swinging about a vertical axis:
as a : a machine for raising, shifting, and lowering heavy weights by
means of a projecting swinging arm or with the hoisting apparatus
supported on an overhead track


So pretty much all overhead lifting mechanisms fall in the crane arena.
However, in any boat yard a travellift is known to be a very different
thing compared to a crane. Cranes are also used in boat yards and the
two are not to be confused. Bob Crantz is wrong as per the actual usage
of the term and calling a travellift a crane could be technically
correct, but in the real world it's dead wrong.

Now everyone be quiet!

That's right.

But a true lift has the raising mechanism below the load.

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.

Most warehouses call a forklift a 'towmotor'. But it's not.
Towmotor is a brand name, they make forklifts.

Most people would call your boat , a sailboat, even though it
hasn't got sails or even a mast.

Is a laptop / notebook not a computer?

I WIN .

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!
