English term or phrase: loading the rakes
Ich übersetze geräde einen Text aus Indien. Es geht um ein Warenlager, in dem Säcke, die mit dem Produkt gefüllt sind, gelagert werden.

Ganzer Satz:
This warehouse needs to be arranged in such a way, that there is an ease of loading the rakes.

Was ist mit loading the rakes gemeint? Bin für jeden Vorschlag dankbar.

German translation:Beladung der Wagengruppen
Explanation:
This is what the UIC dictionary of railway terms tells us: a rake, raft or set of wagons, coaches etc. is a Wagengruppe - it can also be described as a "Zugteil", but that would not quite fit in this context. That's more likely to be applied to a section of a passenger train attached to or detached from a main train at a junction.
