French term or phrase: sectionneur à bringuebale
Not much context here, I'm afraid.
I'm on the electrical section of my tender spec for a ship-to-shore container crane and, more specifically, the section relating to cabinets and switchboxes.

"Les sectionneurs à bringuebale sur les portes des armoires sont interdits."

Most references to this term found on the Net relate to winch cranks or a pump break (or break beam) used to activate a pump piston.

The verb "bringuebaler" can also mean to shake about.

Any ideas?

Explanation:
I know the word as "brimbale", and have encountered it (in the plural) for a sort of "chain" made up of a series of interlinked bars with an eye at each end linked to the next eye.

I've actually opted for Tony's suggestion but as he seems rather reluctant to enter an answer, I'm offering you the points for your help with this and my other questions on my container crane job which has now, thankfully, been put to bed!
