What is a "cherry picker"?

A cherry picker is a type of elevated work platform used to lift workers and their tools to high or hard-to-reach places. It consists of a platform or bucket that is attached to a hydraulic arm, which can be raised, lowered, and extended. Cherry pickers are commonly used in construction, maintenance, and tree trimming, as they provide a safe and stable way to reach elevated areas. The platform is often large enough to hold both a worker and their equipment, allowing them to perform tasks at height efficiently and safely.

Examples
The technician used a cherry picker to access the power lines and perform the necessary repairs.
