Dutch term or phrase: achterbrug
"LONG DRAIN olie, 100% synthetisch voor zwaar belaste versnellingsbakken en achterbruggen van industriële voertuigen en grondverzetmachines."

I think this text has been translated from the French.
I suspect that what is meant here are either "rear transmissions" or "back axles".
But Google Translator provides "swingarms" for achterbruggen.

The previous sentence was: "De GEAR LS zijn uiterste-druk (EP)-oliën die speciaal ontwikkeld werden voor de smering van bruggen met sperdifferentieel." Here again that the word "bruggen" is used in combination with a limited slip differential. I can see such a differential with a transmission, but not with swingarms.

Any ideas / explanations ??

agree  F Scott Ophof (X): 'rear drive axles'.might be preferable; no sense using EP-oils in a non-driven axle... Xlation from French does seem a valid suspicion.
