| | lorry (equipped) to take a load at an angle; to take a tilted load | Explanation:
I think something like this may be what you'll have to use - I've certainly never heard of moving points/switches by ROAD before, but there's a first time for everything...
Avoid "angled trailers" and things like that - as far as I can see, they are ALL to do with carrying horses! |

| Grading comment Thanks, I appreciate the suggestion. I was hoping there was a single English term, but indeed a paraphrase was needed here. Thanks again
