English term

Topping Crane

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
El texto habla de la construcción de aerogeneradores y se menciona el uso de una "topping crane", por ahora lo estoy manejando como "grúa de pluma" pero quería saber si alguien tiene una mejor opción.
El idioma origen es inglés de los Estados Unidos y el idioma meta es español de México.

No encontré mucha información en línea salvo por una pregunta en quora donde menciona que topping tiene que ver con la pluma de la grúa.

Agradezco sus sugerencias!
Proposed translations (Spanish)
4 +1 Grúa de brazo amantillable
3 grúá mástil en celosia
3 La grúa más grande del mundo - "Big Carl"
3 grua telescópica
References
topping crane o luffing crane = Grúa de brazo abatible o grúa de brazo amantillable.

Pls see reference comment. Rgds. Pls see reference comment. Rgds.
Alex Ossa Jul 10, 2020:
Vale, ahí dejé un par de recomendaciones. No recomiendo grúa pluma porque es muy poco específica, siendo la luffing súper específica en cuanto a estructura..
MARCELO ESTRADA (asker) Jul 10, 2020:
Hola, gracias por responder.
La oración dice "... for the installation of nacelle and rotor, the use of a topping crane is required"

Grúa de brazo amantillable

Topping is another word for luffing, which is moving the jib up and down. A luffing crane is translated by the Routledge Technical Dictionary as the proposed translated term.

Wikipedia actually refers to this kind of crane without translating the term:
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grúa_(máquina)#Aplicaciones_y_...

Grúa luffing, o Transtainer

There are several instances on Spanish-language websites that use either of these terms (especially grúa luffing), so there's a good case to be made to not translate the term at all.

neutral Alex Ossa : Grúa mástil is mast crane, and celosía would be lattice, so although the crane types are closely related, this isn't quite as precise as available alternatives.

Grúa de brazo abatible o grúa de brazo amantillable.
Amantillable es un término muy poco usado, pues sólo es VALIDO si la pluma es abatible mediante cables de acero llamados amantillos.
Por el contrario, si la pluma es abatible mediante cilindro hidraulico es pluma abatible y no pluma amantillable.

Una grúa luffing NO ES UNA grúa transtainer.
