Spanish term or phrase: trompa de elefante
La frase dice así "El contratista debe prever suficientes ventanas para caídas, espaciadas adecuadamente y que cuentes con pantalón, trompa de elefante o lo necesario para evitar la caída inadecuada del concreto." No se si por pantalón se refieran a la ropa que se tiene que usar en la construcción y para trompa de elefante tengo una idea de lo que es en español pero no se como traducirlo al ingles. Se agradece cualquier ayuda!
