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.

FAQs
Electrical Manipulators
Electrical manipulators are lifting tools that in themselves can be turned, swung or otherwise moved electrically to help position the load
Manual Manipulators
Manual manipulators are lifting tools that in themselves can be turned, swung or otherwise moved by hand to help position the load.
Non-Manipulators
Non-manipulators are simple lifting tools that support a load. Typically designed to accommodate a specific type of load, these tools are found in countless different versions.
