I'm translating the credits for a documentary with some dramatisation that was originally produced in French.
The people credited don't show up on IMDB, LinkedIn or a Google search.
Would it be something like a grip?

French term (edited):
ripper
Selected
ripper
It is already the EN word being used in FR (also found as 'rippeur')
It basically just means 'muscle' — 'grips' are a special kind of 'muscle', but it would not be appropriate to promote these general labourers to the more specific rôle of 'grips'.

: You need to provide references. A grip is someone who manages lighting equipment, but I don't see the connection with 'ripper'.

prop hands
Contrary to what I said last time round - https://fra.proz.com/kudoz/french-to-english/cinema-film-tv-... - a prop hand is not necessarily a dummy hand for horror movies.
"Prop hand
Prop hands organise the transporting of all the hired props. They make sure the props that are ordered get to the unit safely and are stored logically. When the props are no longer needed, they get them back to the hire company and complete the paperwork"
https://www.screenskills.com/job-profiles/browse/film-and-tv...
"By chance, another prop hand, Tommy Bacon, lived nearby with his wife and seven children. Bacon had an old minibus and agreed to give Mickey a lift."
https://books.google.fr/books?id=908KEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA105&lpg=P...
(Mickey, above, is the Mickey Pugh who was "stand-by prop hand" for War Horse - https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0700054/fullcredits?ref_=m_nmfm_1 )
