Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

It's been getting a little colder lately, hasn't it?

I wonder if winter is finally coming? lol

But that's beside the point.

Words You'll Definitely Use If You're in This Industry

I was using it pretty normally, too.

I never even thought about what it meant.

 

I'm currently attending crane school, but there are actually people who don't know that term!!

Whaaaat?!

Is that even possible!?

I'm that surprised.

So, here it is.

I think you get it now!

Power Takeoff!

That's it.

I'm sure you all know this, right!?

Power Takeoff!

 

When using mobile cranes and other equipment on-site,Power Takeoff!

Don't people tell you, "Put it in!!!!" (if it's not in)?

 

Well, writing it this way might be a little confusing, but as they say,P.T.O.That's it.

I thought there might be people who didn't know this, but I guess if you're in a different industry, you might not be aware of it.

By the way, here are the details about this PTO.

What Is the P.T.O.? (Wikipedia)

 

To put it simply, the crane gets the power it needs to operate from the engine, converts it into hydraulic power, and uses that to move.

In a typical car, the engine is used solely to power the vehicle. Therefore, everything else is usually powered by electricity.

If you were to try to lift something like 2.9 metric tons (with a 4-metric-ton crane) using electricity, it would require an insane amount of power, wouldn't it?

That's because it uses the engine's power.

Technology is amazing, isn't it?

So, the technical term for this time isP.T.O.That was it.

If you didn't know this before, please make a note of it now.

If you already know their name, try using their full name from now on—it’ll make the atmosphere around you feel a little lighter lol.

 

See you later.
