Sometimes the Optimal Solution Is Mixture of Different Types of Tools
Due to the different features of the three categories of lifting tools, the best solution is sometimes a combination of different tools. For instance, it is common to combine a non-manipulator with either an electrical or manual manipulator.
The non-manipulator is typically used to hold or grip the load, while the manipulator is employed to perform additional movements, such as rotating or tilting the load.
