Spanish term or phrase: Carros
This word occurs in the context of load specifications for various pieces of equipment, including cranes used to load loose mineral into ships at a quayside. The full sentence is "Empuje lateral de la grúa.............xx de la suma de la carga levantado y el peso de los carros".

I think these are probably the containers for the mineral ("la carga"), but does anyone know for sure? Best wishes. Sian.
