Indonesian translation:gugus capit, gugus angkup
Explanation:

Based on further clarification, the shape of this tool is like a lobster, and the most important ffeature of a lobster is its huge pincers (=capit).

You may as well want to try a more technical, yet less popular term angkup, synonimous with capit, but only to be found as a tool, not a body part of an animal. It seems to be widely used in Malaysian, a "sister" language of Indonesian.

On the other hand, group can be translated into gugus.

Hi Mi-Ma, there is no exact reference for the phrase. My translation is inferred from the context and potential translation of each word.

If you will use this on the web, you'll likely be the first person to do so, i.e. to propose the translation for the lobster group in a technical / engineering context (tyremaking in particular).

'Kumpulan lobster' is a better translation of 'lobster group' than 'kelompok lobster' as the lobsters are already caught. Local names of 'lobster' include udang karang, udang batu, and udang barong.

Asker: Hello all of you! I am afraid that maybe my context was not clear enough. My text is not about fishing. This lobster group is part of an industrial machinery in the the shape of lobster as it is used to load/discharge tyre to/from the roller bench (roller konveyor?). I hope I have been clear enough this time! Thanks for your help!
