Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial / cranes and lifting systems
Spanish term or phrase: carretones
Subheading: Carros transbordadoes y ****carretones*****

Context (text appearing next): "La oferta de [empresa de grúas] se complementa con carros de transferencia sobre raíles para transporte a nivel de suelo de cucharas de chatarra, transbordadores de vehículos y carros de transporte de materiales diversos como como bobinas, perfiles y otros materiales."

British English preferred, please.

Is there a more specific term than "trolley" or "cart"?

I have been using resources for comparison such as http://www.konecranes.com/crane-terminology

You are going to be talking about various types so you need a general word that will include them all, later in their descriptions you can define properly the various types. My 2 cents
