Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering | | English term or phrase: Gatebreaker and Jaw | I have no idea what it is. I only have this:
"These powerful machines are colossal and have astounding capabilities. From swamp excavators to sewer cleaners and fireboats, these mega-machines master the tasks humans cannot." |

| | Hebrew translation:מרסקת כבישים | Explanation:
In context (Discovery channel Mega Machines), I looked for bigger and meaner machines than Daniel suggested, an I found a lead - a picture of a machine followed by this description:
"RMCI’s current demolition process at Stapleton involves a remote-activated hydraulic gate breaker mounted on a semi-truck chassis. Nicknamed the “guillotine,” the breaker consists of a nine-ton steel striker bar measuring 8 inches wide that impacts the pavement and generally fractures the concrete into material averaging 10 inches to 26 inches."
I suggested it as feminine for "machine"

I later found from answers.com that indeed a jaw crusher/breaker is a rock breaking machine with jaws.

so how about: מרסקת כבישים וסלעים, מרסקת כבישים וטוחנת סלעים etc.
At last - if you want to be really fresh (and at the same time archaeic) and use "our own" idiom (נזיקין, מסכת סנהדרין, דף כד, א גמרא) I'd recommend:
"עוקר הרים וטוחנם"... :-) |
