CIĘŻARÓWKA Z ZABUDOWĄ PLANDEKOWĄ ZSUWANĄ Explanation: Piotr, Unfortunately, Polish is not as flexible and concise as English, especially with technical terms. Here are my suggestions on your trucks: CURTAINSIDER = CIĘŻARÓWKA Z ZABUDOWĄ PLANDEKOWĄ ZSUWANĄ Back of this truck is covered with canvas. Side of the load compartment is slid to the side in order to enable loading. TILT TRUCK / TIPPER = WYWROTKA I reckon that a tilt truck dumps the load to its side, while the tipper dumps the load to its back. However, the Polish equivalent for both is the same. Some chassis are built in a manner that enables switching between these two modes (tilting and tipping). BOX VAN = FURGON / CIĘŻARÓWKA Z NADWOZIEM ZAMKNIĘTYM/KRYTYM In Polish, CIĘŻARÓWKA refers to A VAN, A TRUCK, A LORRY. Confusing, isn't it? REEFER = CHŁODNIA Probably from REFRIGERATION FLATBED = PLATFORMA CHASSIS = PODWOZIE TANKER SILO BOX (used as Adjectives) I think it means either of, rather than all at once, i.e. TANKER/SILO/BOX FOOD GRADE. TANKER = CYSTERNA For liquid loads. SILO = SILOS / ZBIORNIK DO MATERIAŁÓW SYPKICH Similar to a tanker, but for solid loose/powdery loads (e.g. flour, cement, grain, etc.) BOX = ZABUDOWA ZAMKNIĘTA/KRYTA FOOD GRADE = DO PRZEWOZU ŻYWNOŚCI NON FOOD = DO PRZEWOZU MATERIAŁÓW NIESPOŻYWCZYCH There are different regulatory requirements for the food grade and non food grade containers. Hope that it helps you out, Piotr. English-Polish Dictionary of Science and Technology own experience |
