Explanation:
In conveyors, 'spur' means 'desvío', as in railway jargon.
'Espuela' is a very bad translation from English to Spanish, based on another sense of 'spur'. Correct Spanish would be 'desvío de/para inspección'.

Explanation:
sounds as if it should read estación/puesto de inspección. The only espuela I know is "one for the road".
