      Just like a car jack vs a lift, lift implies you stack stuff.

      Also, anyone can use a pallet jack, or electric jacks. Anything ride on usually needs licensing though.

          who doesn’t consider a car jack to be lifting the car?

          Your boss who asked for the vehicle to be put on the car lift, but you think he means the car jacks. You’re not going to last long if you can’t infer the context yourself.

          If your boss asked for a pallet jack, and you come back with a forklift, he’s gonna question your intelligence. Construction and other TERMs for equipment have specific definitions and meanings. You CANT use laymen dictionary.

          If you worked with these, like you claim… you clearly weren’t trained or were just some labourer.

              Yes and as I already clarified earlier, a lift implies STACKING.

              Also note, it specifies a SHORT DISTANCE, you can’t ignore part of a definition to suite your narritive.

              Your obvious trolling denseness isn’t funny btw.

                  No, in construction and mechanic tools, they have specific definitions.

                  Laymen’s, yes of course you can incorrectly use one for the other. But it’s not correct. Also lifts don’t jack. They are different things wholefully.
