🔍 Key Concepts

• Basic crane terminology used in maritime cargo handling • The primary horizontal or angled structural member of a crane that supports the load • Differences between parts that support/position the load versus parts that attach to or ride on the structure

💭 Think About

• Think about which term specifically refers to the long projecting arm of the crane itself, not the load or the lifting device attached to it. • Ask yourself: in cargo-handling diagrams, what is the usual name given to the angled arm that extends out from the crane pedestal or housing? • Consider whether all the options can correctly name the same single structural part, or whether some refer to different things.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option is commonly defined as the projecting arm of a crane. • Check whether any option describes equipment that travels on or along the structure rather than being the structure itself. • Confirm that "All of the above" can only be right if every listed term can correctly name the same crane part.
