Cherry picker

Okay kiddo, imagine you have a big cherry tree in your backyard and you want to pick some delicious cherries that are way up high at the top of the tree. But you can't climb up there because it's too high and dangerous. That's where a cherry picker comes in handy!

A cherry picker is a big machine that has a long arm with a bucket or platform at the end. You can stand in the bucket and the arm can lift you up high in the air so you can reach the cherries at the top of the tree. It's kind of like a tall ladder, but even safer because you're strapped in and can't fall.

Cherry pickers are really useful for lots of things besides picking cherries. People use them to fix power lines, hang decorations, clean windows on tall buildings, and lots of other jobs where they need to be up high. It's a really cool machine that makes it easier and safer to reach high places!
