Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / specs for airport
Spanish term or phrase: muelles
appears throughout text from Spain and I'm stumped as to the meaning in this context, best if I put a few examples - first in a table about communication between departments
Muelles (Clasificación de Equipajes),
then in headings
rampa.
11.5. Refuerzos/*Muelles*/Emb-Fact/Chaquetas rojas / Card Reader
Será necesario contar en las consolas de Web-Browser de cada uno de las unidades operativas con un lector de tarjetas ( en la actualidad mediante banda magnética ) con la finalidad de validar la identidad del personal antes de recibir una asignación

Any ideas? TIA!
