Le RTG doit etre equipe d’un systeme anticollision, de preference de type Laser, qui permet de:
Eviter les collisions avec les conteneurs, les camions et autres obstacles dans la zone de stockage pendant les deplacements du RTG.
Eviter les collisions entre les RTG.
I understand that it is a kind of crane and it is in English itself. However, unable to find the exact information as this is not my area of expertise. If somebody can help.
TIA

: it is a triple. At 9 minutes, grane had to be corrected to crane (and then at 10 min, the same ref was added). it's just a matter of who rushed in first. a split second later does not make this answer any less valid/correct

: exact ref I found in a split second and I don't go near this field. you were the only one to get it 100% correct, with ref, at 9 minutes. Since time appears to be of the essence here......

Sorry, that should, of course be "Crane", not "Grane"!

: Not my field at all but immediately and easily findable in a split second /the actual answer is a typo. Technically this is worthy of a neutral since the correction -and reference- only came in at 10 min..........

Thanks writeaway. Exactly. The correction and first reference were actually at 9 mins and displayed before Chris's answer. I then added the Wikipedia reference at 10 mins.
