Italian term or phrase: catino
corpo tenda costituito da n°4 moduli da preassemblare a terra, completi di struttura pneumatica, copertura e catino;

Inoltre è possibile abbattere la soglia d'ingresso, formata dal lembo del catino, e quindi consentire il transito di materiale rotabile da o verso l'esterno.

Any ideas?

floor
Explanation:
Hi Jenny
it's just the floor of the tent - whether you need to qualify that floor depends on the material it's made of

... un tappeto gommato o plastificato come pavimento ( che è detto catino ).

Explanation:
this must be some kind of bottom for the whole assembly, the rim of which sticks up and needs to be knocked down in order to roll stuff in

Asker: this is the standard translation I found too, but can a basin be part of a tent? I'm inclined to go with floor, which seems to be the simplest option....
