Vertedero hidráulico móvil

English translation: Movable weir

10:31 Apr 6, 2017

Spanish to English translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / List of taxable items
Spanish term or phrase: Vertedero hidráulico móvil SPAIN (but the source text could be from anywhere). No useful context, as it's from an alphabetical list of what appear to be things liable for tax, perhaps in import or export, I don't know. My problem with the term is that I understand "vertedero" to be a landfill or dump, but "hydraulic/mobile" sounds like it's some sort of vehicle. Perhaps there is a Latin American country where they call dumper trucks "vertederos?? ... "...

Marie Wilson Spain 16:40 Apr 7, 2017  Thanks Neil, much appreciated. Out of interest, did you go with weir or sluice in the end? neilmac Spain ASKER Cheers guys :) 16:05 Apr 6, 2017  I'm using "portable hydraulic sluice" as a placeholder. Thanks for all the feedback so far, it's appreciated. Marie Wilson Spain @Charles 12:37 Apr 6, 2017  Thanks for the encouragement, I had all the searches saved so I have done. I don't think it could be anything else either. Charles Davis Spain Movable weir 12:01 Apr 6, 2017  I think it's got to be that. Although there are practically no results for "vertedero hidráulico móvil" there are some for "aliviadero móvil", and the images that go with them are of weirs. Movable weirs do exist. I think you should post it, Marie. I don't think we're going to get any further on this. Marie Wilson Spain 11:34 Apr 6, 2017  I think "movable weir" is most likely. Another term for "vertedero hidaúlico" is "aliviadero", so wiki says, and I have seen examples of movable weirs and storm surge barriers, which seem to fit context.

I got one Google hit for "Vertedero hidráulico móvil"- a Colombian military requisitioning form, and it seems to be linked with oil rigs. Automatic update in 00:
