It’s also a disaster, not everything is labeled correctly.
Telehandler a heavy duty lift looks like the one they call rough terrain.
And a pallet jack isn’t a lift. It’s a jack, it’s in the name, they can’t lift, they only move them around.

Around here the telehandler is known as a zoom boom. And if you call it anything else you reveal yourself as full of book learning without any job experience.

I have some grace, lots of terms are regional and we get apprentices from across the country.
We use zoomboom too, but training wanted unified terms since it’s international certification.

There are high-lift jacks
Also where propane powered lifts

We call those pallet lifts.

But... Pallet jacks do lift a pallet. Just only by a few inches. And they have forks.

Just like a car jack vs a lift, lift implies you stack stuff.
Also, anyone can use a pallet jack, or electric jacks. Anything ride on usually needs licensing though.

Elevators? Weights? And who doesn't consider a car jack to be lifting the car?

Your boss who asked for the vehicle to be put on the car lift, but you think he means the car jacks. You’re not going to last long if you can’t infer the context yourself.
If your boss asked for a pallet jack, and you come back with a forklift, he’s gonna question your intelligence. Construction and other TERMs for equipment have specific definitions and meanings. You CANT use laymen dictionary.
If you worked with these, like you claim… you clearly weren’t trained or were just some labourer.

You Jack the vehicle with a car jack.

Yes and as I already clarified earlier, a lift implies STACKING.
Also note, it specifies a SHORT DISTANCE, you can’t ignore part of a definition to suite your narritive.
Your obvious trolling denseness isn’t funny btw.

YSK rule 2 of this sub is to include WHY this should be known

Odd that it doesn't mention one of the most common ones which is a liquefied petroleum gas forklifts (the ones with the gas cylinder on the back)

I drove forklifts for over a decade at multiple companies. I have never driven a diesel forklift for work, only to test drive. 75%+ were LP, the rest being electric.

I have used almost half of all of these. Only thing I used not shown is a high lifter. Those fucking things are scary.
