Spanish term or phrase: amadrinar

Es fragmento de un reglamento de seguridad redactado en México.

"Todo equipo pesado como grúas móviles, cargadores, montacargas, excavadoras sobre orugas, etc. deberán siempre ser amadrinados en el transitar sobre carreteras."

¿Se refiere a "secured" o algo por el estilo?

Gracias de antemano.
