English translation:pillar carriage
Explanation:
The ref. gives a good explanation of what this is. Rungen = pillars (uprights) holding up the Dachgurt (roof frame). These Rungenlaufwagen seem to be sliding elements that allow the middle pillar to be shifted into different positions.

neutral  Gillian Scheibelein: I found this site as well and discarded it as it is a translation from Spanish>English and Spanish>German. So German>English could be a bit dodgy in places.

Roller stanchions


Explanation:
looks like an idea to me. "Rungen" in a railway context are "stanchions", and these are obviously able to be rolled back and forth, hence my suggestion.
