Suspended mast crane: A powered overhead travelling crane where the crab carries an inverted mast. The load is carried on forks, or other attachments mounted on a carriage arranged to travel up and down the mast which is capable of rotating around its vertical axis.

Stacker cranes have also been employed in automated storage and retrieval systems. Each stack location is given a code number that is placed on a punched card or other control device. When a shipment or order is received, the punched card is inserted to activate the system, and the stacker crane automatically finds the right location. 3, record 3, English, - mast%20crane

There are many types of front-end attachments. ... The sideshifter, of all the powered attachments, is the one that is most widely used ... Sideshifters' ... chief advantage is that they allow a lateral (sideways) movement of the load without moving the truck. Lateral movement permits a truck operator to greatly reduce his manoeuvring time when placing loads in tight positions. 1, record 4, English, - sideshifter
