Okay. How DO you accessorize a burro crane (no fashionistas, please)?

Ironically, I overheard a Section Crew conversation just last week. There were several guys preparing their hydraulic boom hy-rail truck for a day of work. I heard one of them say, "We'll need to take a 'lift beam' too". And two of the guys started towards the spot where several of these implements were laying on the ground. Now, whether that's the catalog description or a regional slang, I do not know.
