what follows this phrase?
chris collister Jul 8, 2008:
This sounds like one of those natty remote-controlled cranes the French have. Maybe the "portail" is the control box you sling around your neck.
John Owen (asker) Jul 8, 2008:
Portail Thanks Chris - but I have the impression that here the portal is more in the sense of a gantry as the text talks about 600 kg carrying capacity, etc.
chris collister Jul 8, 2008:
Possibly "des", not "les"? "stables et solides" are almost tautologous, and "télécommande" is remote control, so this may make sense in whatever other context you have! Portail is just portal in the IT sense.

remote control stable and solid/stabilized

Declined
there is probably a function or a place that you put the remote control in so that it isn't turned on accidentally. now that no one that suggested it wanted to offer the answer, i felt obliged to do so, for the sake of this site!
