Some cranes have load charts that allow the crane to lift a load and drive around while it is suspended. What are these cranes (or capability) called?

• A. Pick and carry
• B. All-terrain
• C. Rough terrain
• D. Tower

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is the ability to lift a load and move around with it still suspended, which describes pick and carry capability. Pick-and-carry cranes are typically wheel-mounted mobile cranes designed to pick up a load and transport it to another location without setting the load down. The load charts for these cranes include an in-motion rating, showing how much load can be carried while the crane is moving, usually lower than the static lift value. This is why the described capability fits pick and carry best. Other crane types—all-terrain, rough terrain, and tower—do not emphasize moving with a suspended load as a defining feature; they are built for lifting and maneuvering differently, or are fixed structures and cannot travel with a load suspended.
