interchangeable pallet system Explanation: Vaihtolava is actually "open container", but it is not sufficient here, as it does not mean the whole system that the Asker is referring to. Reference: http://www.logexpo.fi/mark/pics/tuoteryhmat.pdf |

cable lift system Explanation: Also in use: wire lift system. Vaihtolavalaitteisto can also refer to 'hook lift system' which consists of an arm with a hook at the other end. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day19 hrs (2009-10-19 10:27:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- www.forest-heath.gov.uk/.../RecycleCentreTruckSOW.doc -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day20 hrs (2009-10-19 10:51:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.sisu-trucks.com/portal/en/products/sisu_roll/ http://www.ettc.ee/dir_eng.php?cat=5 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days1 hr (2009-10-20 15:46:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To my understanding, the fact that a lorry/truck can carry a variety of skips/containers is taken for granted in the English term and thus, is not mentioned. Instead, what is considered important is the way the skip or container is taken onboard. |
