Salve a tutti !!

Sto traducendo le caratteristiche di una "Combo Twist HP" un macchinario per palestra

Testo:
"La struttura solida con tubolare 100x50 è presentata in versione con piattine in lamiera da fissare al suolo"

Non so proprio cosa siano le piattine......grazie x l'aiuto !!

metal plates
Explanation:
Hi - I imagine this is describing the mechanism to fix the machine to the ground to stop it from moving about. If I've understood correctly I think metal plates, or perhaps small metal plates as it's "ine" might fit better depending on the rest of the machine's description.
