striking post


Explanation:
poteau battant = striking post
I wish I could see the drawing. I'm imagining the 'poteaux' would be the posts used to strike whatever is being crushed, like a battering ram.

Also:
poteaux = piles (nautical), studdles (mining)
Less applicable to your context but maybe helpful.
