Dutch term or phrase: kruis en viersprong
this is a text about a crane hoisting large bags. The text is as follows: De big-bags worden per twee stuks (kruis en viersprong) naar boven gehesen ..... I'm assuming that this relates to the position of the bags while being hoisted. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
