levantamentos

Thanks for all the help folks.
This is not accounting, not survey in this context.
My query was if I can use liftingS, seemed strange at first, good to have a second opinion.

In my opinion the first "levantamento" means survey (inquérito , topografia); fazer um levantamento- to carry out a survey;

The other "levantamentos" are really confuse because I can interpret as action, verification or survey.

Pelo texto abaixo, deduzo que se trata do levantamento físico de cargas, a granel.

O presente invento trata de um container para carga a granel flexível intermediário com múltiplos dispositivos de levantamento. O container compreendendo pelo menos duas alças de levantamento

Hello

This might relate to listing and info gathering.
Survey may not be the best term, but it's near that, some what close checking.

Levantamento is very common in PT-PT regarding accounting and logistics.

e.g

"Para os levantamentos de granel na Refinaria da XXXX, os respectivos custos de enchimento são controlados pelo Supply Assistant, em que o produto movimentado em ......"

levantamento would be to check what and/or how much is needed, later to evaluate loading/filling costs...

I did not relate it in anyway with load lifting in this context

however

https://www.google.pt/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd...

this shows levantamento as disposal.

Preparation for market [COM] Full entry
PT
desconto de levantamento

EN
removal discount

would probably go with the cost of filling.

Hope it helps out!
cheers

in that case I would say "lifts"

Survey doesn't really fit in this context. It is more like loads lifted, or cylinder loaded....
Thanks anyway
