Swedish term or phrase: hjulsänk
Funktionsmässigt innehåller den en modern tandemsvarv modell U2000/400D från tyska Hegenscheidt, plats för oförstörande provning av hjul och axlar, hjulsänk för byte av hjulpar samt en arbetsplats med åtkomst till fordonens alla nivåer inkl. travers för byte av takmonterad utrustning.

“wheel-change pit”, “Underfloor lifting system” and “Wheelset changer in elevated track” are alternatives I have considered so far.

Wheel Lathe
Many modern depots are equipped with a wheel profiling facility known as a wheel lathe. These are normally designed so that the wheels can be reprofiled while still on the train. Removing the wheels requires the train to be lifted and this is an expensive business and very time-consuming. To avoid this, the underfloor wheel lathe or "ground" wheel lathe was developed like the one shown in Figure 5.
Wheels can be removed from a train by a "wheel drop", where the wheelset is lowered underneath the train into a basement below the depot floor.

There seems to be a number of different legitimate solutions to this question. I asked my client - they preferred "Wheelset changer in elevated track". Thanks for your suggestion. The links were useful too.
