nose jack chandelle

Explanation:
"The nose" désigne l'avant de la remorque.
Ex
Une chandelle doit être utilisée à l'avant de la remorque...
ou
L'avant de la remorque devra reposer sur une chandelle...

"Pourquoi mettre sur chandelles ?

Avant travaux
Avant tout travail sur les roues, essieux, freins, etc... ne laissez jamais votre remorque sur cric. Le cric sert à lever, mais pas à maintenir un matériel.
Pour travailler dans de bonnes conditions de sécurité, placez impérativement votre remorque sur cales ou sur chandelles."
