GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

French term or phrase: mannequin de montage
From a tender T&C:
L’Entreprise prendra à sa charge la mise en oeuvre, la maintenance et le démontage des installations temporaires nécessaires au montage de ses ouvrages.Ces installations temporaires comprennent l’aire de levage, le mannequin de montage, le cas échéant, à l’exclusion de tout autre encombrement d’espace.

This makes me think of something like scaffolding, but I can find little or no references to it. The trade involved is the installation of suspended ceilings in an office block.

Thanks

assembly jig
Explanation:
My Dictionary of Architecture & Construction, Forbes gives
jig (sdge)
jamb form, boxing (coffrage)
trench guard, trench box (de tranchée)

It's difficult to tell from your context, but I would imagine it's an assembly jig.
