control lift for crane Explanation: Kran = crane steuer = control sessel = lift/chair In German it' soften a good idea to take the word apart to make sense of the meaning. Good luck! Routledge German Technical Dictionary |

[crane] operator's seat; (mobile crane also:) driver's seat Explanation: Cranes can be stationary or mobile. In a stationary crane (and in general) I would tend to use _operator's seat_. In a mobile crane one could also use _driver's seat_, but I'd generally prefer the former term, since the main function is lifting rather than driving.
