	Cherry pickers are pieces of machinery easily identified by their long, extendible arm (or boom) with a cradle attached on the end. They are also known as telehandlers, telescopic handlers, and boom lifts.		Cherry pickers are pieces of machinery easily identified by their long, extendible arm (or boom) with a cradle attached on the end.

−	Cherry pickers are ~~like a forklift truck but~~ with a boom~~, giving it the increased versatility of its boom being~~ able to extend forwards and upwards. On the end of the boom ~~can be fitted several different attachments~~, such as a cradle, bucket, pallet forks, muck grab, winch, and so on.	+	Cherry pickers can be moved, and are versatile, with a boom able to extend forwards and upwards.

It is still possible to find them being used in fruit orchards, helping to get the hard to reach fruit at the tops of trees and in difficult to reach locations.

	These machines revolutionised how people could pick fruit and ensured the best fruit could always be picked in safe manner – with no danger of falling. They have also made the process of picking fruit more efficient through time savings and the reduced risk of losing fruit to falls.

−	Cherry pickers allow engineers to ~~easily~~ reach the top of telegraph poles to either inspect or repair cabling. ~~The engineers are~~ highly skilled~~, due to their work involving electricity, but their~~ job has been made much less dangerous and complex ~~through~~ the use of cherry pickers. ~~In times gone by~~, engineers ~~were expected~~ to ascend the poles a ladder.

This highly-skilled job has been made much less dangerous and complex by the use of cherry pickers. Previously, engineers had to ascend the poles a ladder, or by climbing them.
