German term

Lenkung strecken

German to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial industrial truck
Lenkung Kassettenhubwagen

Optionen:

1. Lenkung strecken
(Räder des Kassettenhubwagens werden parallel gestellt, lenken nicht mit.)

2. Lenkung „side by side“
(Räder des Kassettenhubwagens lenken mit dem XY mit)

It is a document from a manufacturer of industrial trucks, lifting devices etc. The explanation in brackets is clear enough, but I don't have any useful ideas on how to translate "strecken" in this context.

TIA for your help!
Proposed translations (English)

Steering in locked position / steering in traction

wheels on the cassette's carriage are fixed in parallel, will not steer along.


Strecken here is to render inflexible, immobile, etc. 'Im Streckverband', to use medical analogy, means to put the patient's body 'in traction'
