Spanish term or phrase: carretillas
Deficiencias en canaletas [en el suelo de una fabrica de comida]: Sus rejillas se encuentran hundidas y deformadas, careciendo de la solidez necesaria para resistir el paso intensivo de carretillas y otros vehículos, como carros y plataformas.

Thank you. This is the most general term so it's probably best as I don't know exactly what they are referring to.

wheelbarrows


Explanation:
"Carretilla" is generally translated as wheelbarrow, unless there is something in the text to suggest they are referring to a larger vehicle. Hope it helps!
