I couldn't understand this sentence, especially how can I say "contre-appuis" in English?

Un chariot supérieur munit d’un vérin pour contre-appuis au centre du posage, maintiendra le posage et sa palette sur l’indexage, pendant qu’un autre vérin inférieur éjectera du posage le produit fini.

counter-support

I have left "counter" in since it's there in the text. However, it makes no difference in practice whether it's a support or counter-support
Note from asker:
From the beginning of the translation I couldn't understand the word "posage" or "posages", can I say positioning in the sentence above is it true?
