French term

plat

French to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
This is from a list of parts replaced on a damaged straddle carrier. I have no other information except that the unit cost was about € 3 and they needed 16 of them. Any help very much appreciated there are a couple of other items like this as well.
Proposed translations (English)
4 flat

Profilé The adjectives alone are sometimes used for "profilés" but as Philgoddard said, you'll never know unless you ask the client.

flat

I don't see how else you can translate this. You or I may not know what it means, but the customer either will, or can find out. The same goes for your other two questions.

Are you sure it's not an adjective referring to some previous item on the list? Either way, the translation will be the same.
Note from asker:
Thanks - so not a flat plat or flat bar, just plain "flat" ?
Something went wrong...
