Which term describes the distance from the ground to the highest reach of the aerial device?

• A. Working height
• B. Operating radius
• C. Vertical reach
• D. Maximum extension

Answer: (A)

The distance from the ground to the highest point a worker can reach while using an aerial device is called working height. This term captures the practical height at which work can be performed from the elevated platform, typically platform height plus the worker’s reach. It’s the measure you use to judge whether a task can be done at a given elevation. Operating radius refers to horizontal reach, vertical reach would describe the device’s own vertical extension without considering the worker’s reach, and maximum extension is vague and not a standard term for the working height.
