French term

une longère

French to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping
this term arises after "glacière" and before "pall box" in a list of containers/devices for transport. My tentative guess would be runner (as in a sliding device)....

I live in one! It's a long building which is half house and half barn (which most people convert into living space), thanks
