Hi,

I'd appreciate your help with this term. It is part of the car production line.

Context is:
"Todos los talleres están conectados mediante puentes cerrados, pulpos y sistemas de transferencia, a través de los cuales se van enviando las carrocerías a los diferentes puntos del proceso de producción."

Thanks,

Robert

An assembly line is a manufacturing process in which interchangeable parts are added to a product in a sequential manner to create an end product. In most cases, a manufacturing assembly line is a semi-automated system through which a product moves.

orange-peel grabs


Explanation:
To some they look like octopuses, to others like oranges, but if you look at images (grua pulpo in Spanish) they both seem to refer to the same thing, a claw grab, perhaps running on an overhead gantry.
