"vehicle-mounted aerial platform" (bucket truck), means an aerial platform connected to an extendible or articulating support that is mounted on a vehicle.

"self-propelled elevated work platform" (scissor lift), means equipment with an integrated mobile power source and extendible supports connected to an aerial platform, which can be elevated vertically but cannot be positioned completely beyond the base of the equipment. The mobile and elevating functions of the equipment are typically controlled from the aerial platform.
"boom-type elevating work platform" (boom lift), means equipment with an integrated mobile power source and extendible support connected to an aerial platform which can be positioned completely beyond the base of the equipment. The mobile and elevating functions of the equipment are typically controlled from the aerial platform.
"materials handling equipment" (MHE) (as per TCanada Occupational Health and Safety RegulationsT, Part XIV, section 14.1), means equipment, including its supporting structures, auxiliary equipment and rigging devices, used to transport, lift, move or position persons, materials, goods or things and includes mobile equipment used to lift, hoist or position persons, but does not include an elevating device that is permanently installed in a building.
Nova Scotia: Fall Protection and Scaffolding Regulations (N.S. Reg. 2/96), Part III:
