bucle / ruta Explanation: I think "bucle" may work for you in your context, although you may want to use "ruta", because that's what I think it means: English Term loop Definition a public transport route or guideway layout which is of a closed continuous form,such as a circle or approximate rectangle Reference Dict.Public Transport,Alba 1981 Spanish Term bucle Definition forma de una carretera o línea de transporte que se cierra sobre sí misma en forma de anillo o casi se cierra A cada conductor se le asigna una ruta específica o "bucle". (http://www.ups.com/latin/cr/about/spastory.html) Hope it helps. Reference: http://eurodic.ip.lu:8086//cgi-bin/edicbin/expert.pl#1 |

cinta transportadora Explanation: I'm not sure if I understand this right. The "loop" seems to be a device (not a route) - the trucks are loaded on it at a "feeder station" and then transported ("hauled") to some other point (the "dumping stations"?). If this is correct, then I think the translation above is more appropriate. I have some doubt because "trucks are loaded" is ambiguous: are the trucks loaded with freight, or are the trucks themselves loaded into/onto something? |

recorrido Explanation: You can use 'recorrido' or 'ciclo de trabajo de los camiones'. They're fairly commonly used in the mining industry. Dump stations are botaderos. But, you got me with plate feeder. I can't seem to figure that one out, sorry. |
