- Antigone — A secondary scientific name or taxonomic usage (currently classified often within the genus Antigone) attributed to a species of large birds from the crane family (Gruidae), such as the sarus crane (Antigone antigone), native to South Asia and Australia.
- Anti-reflective — Reducing, eliminating, or preventing unwanted light reflections on a transparent surface. The term describes thin protective coatings (anti-reflective treatment) applied to eyeglass lenses, camera objectives, monitor screens, or windows to enhance useful light transmission, improve contrast, and reduce eye strain.
- Asthenopia — An ophthalmological condition manifested by rapid visual fatigue, accompanied by headaches, tearing, blurred vision, and a burning sensation in the eyes; it usually occurs following prolonged visual effort (reading, computer work) or due to improperly corrected refractive errors (hyperopia, astigmatism).
- Mobile crane — A self-propelled vehicle consisting of a heavy-duty truck chassis onto which a mechanical or hydraulic lifting installation (crane) is mounted, equipped with a telescopic or lattice boom. This complex mobile machine is used on construction sites, in logistics, industrial transport, and emergency interventions for handling, lifting, positioning, and moving heavy loads or structures across various work zones, providing the advantage of high mobility on public roads.
- Mobile crane operator — A skilled and certified worker whose profession consists of driving, operating, servicing, and technically maintaining a mobile truck crane. This professional operator is responsible for executing heavy load gripping, lifting, and placing maneuvers under maximum safety conditions on sites, requiring advanced knowledge of rigging, signaling, load charts, and specific labor protection legislation.
- Self-erecting — A device, mechanism, or industrial vehicle capable of raising, erecting, or mounting its own structure or heavy components using its own hydraulic systems and power without the assistance of an external crane. It is predominantly used in construction to describe specialized self-erecting tower cranes or high-precision mobile hydraulic platforms.
