Roupelles

French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Mining & Minerals / Gems / Equipment
French term or phrase: Roupelles
The document title is: Roupelles et stockeuses

It relates to equipment for mining and I'm working on the automation of that equipment. But I'm not sure what "roupelles" actually are and they never get mentioned in the document except as part of the title!

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Explanation:
I am guessing roupelles is an altered version of "roue-pelles" the correct term.

Asker: Oh of course it must be, I feel very silly now for not spotting that! Thank you.

Asker: I'm not sure how to rate this for the points, I am grateful to you both and both responses were useful. Between them I got to where I needed and both deserve recognition, but I can only choose one!

Asker: Thanks for the reference, so basically I think I'm looking at a bucket wheel reclaimer.
