🔍 Key Concepts

• Steulchen boom design and purpose in cargo handling • Differences between union purchase, jumbo, and Steulchen booms • How manpower and control are affected by different cargo boom arrangements

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What feature would make a Steulchen boom stand out compared with a normal single swinging boom? • Consider which option describes something unique about how the boom is USED during cargo work, not just how it is stored or attached. • Which choice most directly affects efficiency at the hatch rather than stowage or rigging details?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices describe operational advantages (speed, control, manpower) versus simple structural facts. • Make sure the option you pick refers to what is most characteristic of Steulchen booms, not something common to many booms. • Eliminate answers that only talk about where the boom rests or how it’s secured, rather than how it changes cargo handling operations.
