Swedish term or phrase: pallbil
Hej,

Skulle behöva hjälp med översättningen av ordet pallbil till engelska.

Sammanhanget är att det rör sig om en pallbil utrustad med sprängämnestank som för laddning i gruvor.

Tack på förhand!

Explanation:
I'll presume you're looking for the kind of truck shown in (http://www.lkabkimit.se/sv/Om-oss/Nyheter/?ni=4587&c=&m=)

Which compares to these (http://www.treadcorp.com/treadBed.html) -- take your pick of names, but my suggestion is kind of generic (maybe you want a 'Pump' in there some where.

The LKAB site calls Pallbrytning = Bench mining (https://www.lkab.com/en/About-us/Overview/Mining/Bench-Minin...

Ps -- When they detonate, it is an incredible sight to see first hand!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Pallet truck, motsvarar inte det en pallyftare på svenska - alltså en sådan som används på lager? Det jag är ute efter är ett typ av fordon, i detta fall en specialbyggd pallbil med en sprängämnestank som rymmer 20 000 liter.

A 'truck' in the US is also a 'lorry' in England/Ireland...its also the name for the machine that you work with in a warehouse (even in the UK).
