🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic parts of a crane used for lifting cargo • Difference between the structure that reaches out horizontally and the lines or cables that actually lift • Which part of the crane can be compared to a ship’s boom or a human arm reaching out

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which option describes the main projecting structure that extends from the crane and supports the load? • Consider which parts are cables or ropes versus which parts are solid structural members of the crane. • Which of these terms would logically be where the hook and load are carried outward from the crane’s base?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is a structural arm rather than a rope, cable, or control station. • Eliminate any answer that clearly describes a line used for hoisting instead of a rigid component. • Make sure the option you pick is the part that reaches out from the crane to position the load.
