Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Tower cranes
Italian term or phrase: gancio alto
it refers to the position of a hook in self-erecting tower cranes and in top slewing cranes. In this position the hook is as close as possible to the crane jib. I need the usual expression for this position.
There is a list of positions of the hook, the trolley , the jib...:
braccio impennato - braccio piegato - braccio steso
carrello vicino - carrello lontano
gancio alto - gancio terra
[...] rallentamento prima velocità del gancio alto
rallentamento prima velocità del gancio terra

Thanks.
