English translation:space volume envelope in operational condition
Explanation:
Sadly, you don't give us enough of the surrounding context to understand exactly what is needed here. It is possible that this 'encombrement' could be just 'footprint' or 'overall dimensions', but it's impossible to be sure without fuller context.

Dimensions in working order


Explanation:
The context must be specified, however "ordre de marche" makes more sense to refer to the work (processing) of some product.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Here is another instance in the text Plans d'encombrement avec dimensions et poids My thought is footprint drawing here and footprint in this question. What are your thoughts on this?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Tony M: Not really: in EN, 'working order' simply means it is not broken; here, what it means is 'with all attachments fitted so it could be used: some equipment breaks down into smaller pieces for transport, which greatly add to the space taken up once assembled
