I just called Minnefords Marina and asked if they had a travel
lift crane. They said YES! SBV "Bob Crantz" wrote in message ink.net... "Capt. Rob" wrote in message ups.com... 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. RB 35s5 NY 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! |
