Vorhaltung

English translation: keeping in stock

German to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Manufacturing
German term or phrase: Vorhaltung
Continuation of previous contract: "Expresskosten werden bei Eilbedürftigkeit ersetzt für Aggregate, deren Vorhaltung der Vertragswerkstatt nicht zu zumuten und deren umgehende Beschaffung auf dem üblichen Weg nicht möglich war." And what would "Aggregate" refer to in this case? TIA.

English translation:keeping in stock
Explanation:
Aggregate refers to whatever they were talking about before (context!) - you can try "units".

What it means is that shops cannot keep all "Aggregate" (parts, units, accessories) in stock; it would be too much to expect (eine Zumutung). So they will pay for expedited shipping in those cases (and when it was impossible to get them in the usual fashion)

Aggregate can mean power units and if that is meant here


Explanation:
then Vorhaltung probably means "providing of equipment" or "keeping on hand"
