Aerial work platform

An aerial work platform is a big machine that helps people work high up in the air. Sometimes people need to build tall things like electric poles or tall buildings, but they can't just climb up to do the work. That would be dangerous and scary!

So instead, they use an aerial work platform. It's kind of like a giant elevator that goes up in the air. There's a little room on top called a "basket" where people can stand and work safely.

The machine has a big motor that powers it up and down and it's controlled by a special person who knows how to operate it. That person makes sure the platform stays steady and moves smoothly so everyone inside is safe.

There are different kinds of aerial work platforms. Some are big and can go up really high, while others are smaller and can fit into tighter spaces. But all of them are designed to help people work high up in the air without putting them in danger.
