Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Vakuum-Schwenklifter | | German term or phrase: Mitgängersteuerung | | Context is operating manual for a vacuum slewing lifter for lifting and handling gas cylinders using suction. In the master data list, under "Type of control" = Mitgaengersteuerung. I am tempted just to say "operator controlled". The operator stands on the floor to operate and manipulate the machine and the gas cylinders. Does anyone know the correct technical term? Is it "pedestrian-controlled" or "pedestrian operator-controlled"? |

| | pedestrian controlled | Explanation:
Pat, I think you are probably correct with "pedestrian-controlled". Benz/Wessel's Logistics Dictionary gives "pedestrian mode" for "Mitgängerbetrieb" when referring to "Stapler". i.e. fork-lift stackers, so logically we could assume "pedestrian-controlled" would fit the bill. |
